Climbing has fascinated me since childhood; my first climbing steps were at age 14, and today I can't imagine life without it. My route setting journey began many years ago in an old gym in my hometown. It still stands today, recently renovated, and I still love returning there. That's where I took my first steps—working with old holds and no modern equipment—learning the raw fundamentals of the craft.
From there, I moved on to modern gyms, refined my style, learned new techniques, and gradually turned my passion for climbing into my profession.
I love climbing on diverse rock types—sandstone, limestone, granite, and more. I deeply admire the shapes and natural steps that nature has sculpted over millennia. In my routes, I try to incorporate the lessons I've learned from Mother Nature, bringing that organic flow into the gym.
My routes are often technical and playful, designed to engage the climber's mind as much as their body.
