Greg Mortenson is a former mountain climber who is scaling to new heights. The Bozeman resident is building schools in impoverished mountain villages in Pakistan and Afghanistan near where he and other mountaineers trekked. The military veteran is convinced that books, not bombs, will stop the growth of terrorism in this breeding ground. His book, "Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time" is inspiring others to take a few steps to change the world. Nancy Greenleese has his story.
