Having lunch today, watching Viceland; and o hear a freeclimber talk about his passion for scaling tall buildings. Without safety ropes or a parachute, he goes up glass fronted high rise buildings. 

Scarey shit. But what he said was invaluable. He described being s mad xlomber as a kid and freaking his parents out to the point where his dad signed him up to a climbing gym on the proviso that he stopped climbing around the town. It fuelled his passion & he described how he never eaycjed tv or did much of anything other than training for climbing increasingly difficult buildings. Epic!

I recall when I was younger, it was work, girlfriend, college , sailing & fitting out my new boat. Nothing else mattered, & I consciously chose to spend time at my chosen goal than socialise or lay around.
