03.11.2004 We are more or less OK. Natalie and Olga study at school. Each of them does it in the own way.
About myself. July-August I worked in Chamonix as a guide. Since September I'm here in Canada. What do I do? Climbing, training. There is already ice here. Waterfalls are frizzing and come into the fantastic hundred meters icicles.
In cities there is still autumn, in mountains - already winter time. I climb most time with Rafael Slawinski. He knows here every corner. He is the best partner, very strong, very smart (he is a physicist professor, teaching at college). All the rest time he climbs in mountains, doesn't like indoor.
I should also constantly be in a good shape, training. I gain a new experience.
In November 3rd I will go to Banff Mountain Film festival. Probably I meet Carlos Buhler. There will be Alex Huber and Low as well. I will present slides. I hope meeting will be successful.
November 18-21 I will make slide-show in Poland at Festival.
All the winter I'm going to work as a guide in Chamonix.
Then, it is still unclear. Maybe Alaska, maybe Himalaya expedition. It depends.
I open my guide company in Canada: "Vertical Adventure Inc ". So I need to promote it.
That's all for now,
All the best
