OfflineA Little About Me
I have been climbing, skiing and hiking mostly in the California High Sierra ever since I came to the US in 1970 from Prague in the Czech Republic. I love the Mountains of the Western US and I hope that I can hike and climb in them for many more years. If you read my messages, please forgive my occasional total destruction of your language, I'm doing my best. I have been American Alpine Club (AAC) member since 1983. Cheers and good climbing, Alois Smrz.
This page only lists a few climbs I have done in the 60 plus years I have been climbing. If I ever get the free time, I will post all of it, but don't hold your breath, I'm as busy as ever...
