:: Slovenian Alps and Paklenica

I was born in a small valley 1 above the village Polhov Gradec, close to Ljubljana. Rocks above my home 2 were the first mountains where I climbed. When I was twenty I moved to Ljubljana where I'm living now with Nada and Ana Karin 3 .

My first experience in the Alps was Slovenian route in the north face of Triglav 4 . As a student 5 I spent more time in the walls than at university. I looked for new routes in Slovenian Alps 6 ,7 where there was still a lot of space... Winter climbing 8 was a different and hard story, but also the valuable experience for Himalaya and other mountains. And Paklenica 9 was the right place to stay fit for rock climbing 10 ...

Italian Dolomites are close to Slovenia and soon I found the way there. Pala, Civetta, Sella and especially Brenta 11 were places where I discovered Dolomites. And from there it is not far to French Alps. I was not there many times, but enough to climb some nice routes 12 .
