Robert Finlay 5 Years Old Climbing the City of Westminster, Ca Water Tower |
Climbing the city's water tank, I believe this was my first adventure. Well, the first adventure where I could very likely have died. I was five years old.
A lifelong passion; 2000 foot rock climbs solo, races hundreds of miles in length over land or sea, blistering desert crossings on foot. Jean-Paul Sartre suggested, "For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it." As we grow older and recount the story again and again; we interpret our own story in new context, thus we create a new story each time, and each time we reveal to ourselves new layers. Have a story and revel in it...
