Product Description

Review

Robert declares his purpose to be the `kicking
of the ass of society'. He is nothing if not
tireless in his ass kicking. He has now climbed
more than 80 of the world's highest buildings. --The Times


Review

Robert is either a story of inspiration and a
man living his dreams or a complete nut job,
depending on your perception.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, 9 Sep 2008
By J. Gifford - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
He may be a nutter but Robert is a dedicated and talented nutter. Following his dreams has got him into as much trouble as it has afforded him the respect of builderers and the regular public around the world. Robert follows in the footprints of, and takes to 'new heights' the antics of the original free climbers of the 30s recounted in the book The Night Climbers of Cambridge by Whipplesnaith. It's worth comparing the two - the spirit and urge to abandon regular society's rules and soar above the crowd is the same - and contagious. A must read.
