Jan Gałek
I’ve been climbing for 20 years now — that’s half of my life. Since 2020, I’ve been a certified IWS PZA climbing instructor. I’ve spent a big part of my life traveling the world, looking for interesting places to walk the line, and to put it simply, I’m kind of a slacklining dinosaur here in Poland.
I’m originally from Wrocław, but thanks to my better half, I’ve settled in the Jelenia Góra Valley and have been living here for 7 years now.
Since last year, I’m also a proud and happy dad. I’m involved in our local mountain rescue group, GK GOPR, where I’ve been a candidate trainee since last year.
I’ve been connected to sports and the mountains my whole life. I studied physical education and graduated from the University of Physical Education in Wrocław.
