About me

Mountains and climbing have been my passion for over 20 years. My climbing portfolio includes famous Alpine classics like the Peuterey Ridge and the Freney Pillar on Mont Blanc, dozens of routes in the Tatra Mountains in both summer and winter, and exotic expeditions – in the Cordiliera Blanca and the Afghan Pamir, where I explored untouched walls. I have also climbed in Patagonia and other extraordinary places, such as Wadi Rum in Jordan and the Taghia Gorge in Morocco.

I also enjoy sport climbing on rocks, where I have been steadily improving my level for years (currently 8a+ RP / 7c OS). I have been skiing since childhood, and for the past dozen or so years I have also been involved in ski touring and freeriding.

In 2024, I became an IVBV/IFMGA/UIAGM Guide. Despite all these years spent in the mountains, they still fascinate me and never cease to surprise me. What's most surprising to me lately is how much joy I get from sharing this passion with others and helping them achieve their mountaineering goals.

Guiding

My main areas of guiding are climbing and ski touring.

In the summer, I invite you to climb in the Tatra Mountains, the Alps, and the Dolomites, not only on popular classic routes but also on lesser-known, beautiful routes. In the winter, I offer ice and mixed climbing, and in the off-season, multi-pitch climbing trips to Spain, Italy, Jordan, and Morocco.

My favorite skiing activities are leading multi-day hut-to-hut ski touring traverses, such as the Haute Route or the Albula Alps traverse. I also guide on sail & ski trips in Norway and freeride expeditions in Japan and other regions of the world.

If you dream of mountain adventures—climbing or skiing—please contact me. I'd be happy to help you make them a reality!
