Background
Born in 1961 in Bratislava, Slovakia. From his youth he devoted himself to mountain-climbing. Despite the difficulties of traveling behind the Iron Curtain, he managed to carry out several trips to Italian and French Alps. Also to the foothills of the Himalayas - Pamir. His highlight was climbing on top of the 3000 foot tall northwest wall, Civetta, in the Italian Dolomites in 1983.
After the change of political regime in Slovakia he started to do business in construction and real estate.
In the new millennium he returned to his old love - climbing. After hard training and difficult beginnings, in 2009 he climbed the El Capitan, route “Triple Direct” in Yosemite Valley with his friends for five days. He was so thrilled by this experience that two years later, he repeated it by climbing “Salathe Wall” route on El Capitan. After climbing the northwest wall of the Half Dome, also in Yosemite, he has returned to 3000 feet tall El Capitan in 2016 and climbed the famous route “The Nose” with his friend.
