Can meditation solve our climbing problems? Is there life after death? or Can drugs help us achieve self-& climbing realization? I´m not sure. Anyway, I will concentrate on the nature of mantras and how they were used in ancient times. They say that mantras were employed not only for spiritual emancipation but in military applications as well. In other words, i believe that mantras can be used in our daily struggle for liv...err, climbing.

I´m flooded with painting wishes: every moment i ever spent in the gym, every touch of the artificial climbing wall, is rushing through my mind. Therefore, i was sitting on the floor for several hours painting that special moment.

This is Martin Spilka; a very dear friend in plain action. This pic immediatly flooded me with bright, searing memories. I wonder if he remembers me, if he remembers that cute climbing day. Anyway, it´s a beauty memory that i can´t let go of.

It´s hard to imagine my life without climbing. I began to climb when i was 7 years old, after to experienced my father´s death. It was a hard time for me, but uncle Nino taught me how to climb. He was there all the time. Even when i started to make my uncle´s nervous. Nowadays, when i feel myself going down... i just call and he still comes around... dedicated to that special climber-man.
