Customer Reviews: chas seward (Tuesday, 15 September 2009) Rating: 'To Be Brave' takes us through the evolution of a rebel, a daredevil, a pioneer, an environmentalist, and the kind of adventurous, free spirit that few of us are able to awaken within ourselves or even possess. It is a fascinating and touching look into the mind of a true American hero — rock climber Royal Robbins. The term 'extreme sports' was invented for daredevils like Royal who pioneered the treacherously dangerous pursuit of free rock climbing with a fearless abandon and intensity and made it his own. 'To Be Brave' first pulls you into his world as a troubled child searching desperately for some meaning in life, then plants you on the rock face — a vertical world where Royal truly belongs.
