What would you say inspired you to get into mountaineering?
My father introduced me to mountaineering when I was just 10 months old and that went on till 3 years. When I understood that I like it, I just started following him. I was 8 years when I really understood the challenge and started accompanying my father to different Treks with lots of enthusiasm. The two most inspiring things in my mountaineering career are the Nature and my Father who instills energy and determination in me always.
Wielicki: I followed the idea of Mr (Andrzej) Zawada (a pioneer of Polish Himalayan ascents). He was the first to climb in winter. You know why? Poland had little freedom, and we couldn’t climb any mountain outside the country. In the 1970s, we discovered that all the 8000-metre peaks have already been climbed. So what do we do? If we wanted to create history in climbing, we had to try something new, like climbing the Himalaya in winter. Mountaineers had already climbed the Alps in winter.
