Diagnosed with RP at the age of 20, Eitan faces the reality of a life without eyesight. Retinitis Pigmentosa, or RP, is a very rare and incurable genetic disease that gradually causes blindness over time. With about 5% of his central vision remaining, Eitan decides to challenge himself and ascend Yosemite’s daunting El Capitan. Refusing to be limited by his limitations, Eitan’s journey demonstrates that life has endless possibilities for those who approach it with positivity and resilience. In the movie LookingUP, Eitan lets go of everything he can’t control and focuses on what he can.
