Class ’78.

Now at the threshold of 20 years of rock climbing, competitions and training, I am always motivated to improve myself.

On rock I climbed blocks up to 8a + and threw up to 8b; in the last year I finally got the qualification as a first level tracker waiting to get the second level, I always try to learn from my colleagues and to share experiences and advice.
