Why would you watch "Turning 50?"

"Turning 50" is a short video about my climb up Mt. Shasta to commemorate my 50th birthday. It starts with traveling to the town of Mt. Shasta and works it's way up towards the top of the mountain. Of course there are several elements during the journey that are included in the video: among them, laughter, fear, overwhelm, and relief. Turning 50 is my story of confronting challenge, digging deep for determination, and the experience of extreme letdown when I didn't quite make it to the top. But it has a happy ending because of the pride I felt at simply making the climb and learning that, eventhough I was 50, I could still do what I did, which was far more than climb a mountain.
