What do you enjoy about climbing?
I love the movement, its complexity, when you have to use all your body. I also really enjoy being outside in a beautiful nature, which climbing “environment” offer, and there improve my climbing skills. And I love friendly climbing community.

How did you start with climbing?
My father take me into climbing, first it was just some easy climbing on rocks and climbing wall, but soon it turned into hard training, which was possible on a new climbing wall build in my town.

Other interests?
Every sport, girlfriend, cooking, going outside with our dog.

Why do you take part in the competitions?
Competitions are the most objective form how to compare with others climbers all around the world. Competitions are for me also source of motivation to training.

What are your plans for the future?
I really would like to became a professional climber, to be a stable part of world elite on World Cup Circuit in bouldering and add boulder ascents in 8B+-8C range.

Climbing in 100 years?
I think, that climbing is going to follow current trend, it means that climbing will be more popular and professional sport and that´s why climbers will be much more improved in their physical and psychical abilities.

My the most impressive climbing experience?
I have many strong experiences connected with comps and boulders all around the world. Currently, the most impressive experience is from World Cup in Munich (08/2015), where i finished 2nd. It was amazing feeling to climb in finals in such an atmosphere and before my biggest fan – my girl, and it was also huge satisfaction for those years of training.
