Born and bred in the beautiful mountains of Slovakia, mountains and mountaineering are in my blood. What began as a hobby, very soon became a career. Apart from teaching adults and children, delivering indoor and outdoor climbing courses, I now train and assess people to become instructors. I give Technical Advice to numerous small climbing walls and youth centres around London. I also enjoy I routes setting and carry out climbing wall inspections.
For my own climbing, whether its ice climbing in Norway, scrambling in Wales, big wall climbing in Yosemite, mountaineering in the Alps, or pushing my grade in sports or traditional climbing, I love it all! Climbing has given me many unforgettable experiences and pushed me to my limits and beyond, giving me a sense of achievement and allowing me to explore the beauty of nature as I go.

As an instructor, I hope to help people enjoy themselves and come home feeling as inspired and passionate about the outdoor life and climbing as I do, giving them the chance to have fun and be challenged in safe hands as they learn. As a trainer I hope to pass on my experience and inspire new instructors entering the industry.
