Our team is comprised of genuinely gifted minds
I got into climbing way back in my 20’s when visiting a local crag not far from my hometown in Czechia. Unfortunately, after a few years of a great time on the rock, other activities got in the way. Still, luckily one cold spring weekend in 2015, I visited Eaglestone Rock and got utterly hooked again and haven’t stopped climbing since.
