The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Finch's journey into mountaineering, beginning with a vivid recollection of his first experience climbing a hill in the Australian bush as a young boy. This formative moment sparks a lifelong ambition to conquer mountains and explore the world from above, illustrating the irresistible allure of the peaks.
