In 1998 he founded his company in Los Angeles, where he developed and sold motorcycles. There he was also a member of the Hells Angels. On September 10, 2001, he suffered a serious accident in the San Fernando Valley. Contrary to the physicians' first presumption that they would have to amputate Medvetz' legs, they were able to heal them in several operations. However, he was diagnosed that he would never be able to walk properly again. One year after his accident, Medvetz decided to radically change his life. He swore off his connections to the Hells Angels and set himself the goal of climbing Mount Everest.

He sold all his possessions and traveled to Nepal and Thailand where he spent four years preparing for the ascent. In the second attempt, in 2007, he succeeded. After his return to the United States, he founded the "Heroes Project" which supported war veterans who have lost their legs to get back to their old life. His ascent of Mount Everest was filmed by the Discovery Channel in "Everest - Game with Death". In 2007 the documentary "After the Climb" followed as well as the series "Wildlife - Back to life", also with Medvetz in the leading role.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
  • With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
    • When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
    • If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
    • Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
    • {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
    • When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
