2014

I climbed for the first time in Chiang Mai, Thailand 🇹🇭, on top rope, and had no idea what I was doing. I liked it a lot, but couldn't afford going back. I had just moved to Thailand as a young digital nomad and was on a tight budget.

2015 - 2018

Tried indoor bouldering for the first time in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾
Went indoor bouldering a few times in Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼 and Busan, South Korea 🇰🇷. Still had no idea what I was doing.

2019 - 2021

Moved to Danang, Vietnam 🇻🇳, which didn't have a climbing gym at the time, so I didn't climb for 2 whole years.
Moved back to my hometown Prievidza, Slovakia 🇸🇰.

2022 - 2023

Got sick with covid during winter and watched way too much YouTube. That's how I found Magnus (and later Adam) on YouTube and started watching climbing videos.
Bought a first pair of climbing shoes and started climbing once a week at a very small, not maintained bouldering wall in Prievidza 🇸🇰.
Got hooked on bouldering like crazy and watched all the climbing videos out there. Started learning climbing technique. This is where I started calling myself a climbed. I was 35 years old.
Moved to Bratislava 🇸🇰 and started climbing regularly, mostly in Block Dock and Vertigo.
