Another tragedy of Polish mountaineering - Piotr Morawski died on Dhaulagiri .

Finally I got my hands on a really good scanner and because the weather in Calgary is very bad (cold like hell) these days, I decided to scan a couple thousand of my slides. Amongst them I found some from my early climbing days in Poland (we're talking about early 80's man). Life then was good and exciting. We were young and poor. We were so passionate about mountains and climbing (and vodka) that nobody cared about hom-made, crappy and unsafe gear, lousy food, sleeping on the floor in mountain huts and general lack of hope about the future, because we were living in a commie country.
Below are a number of pictures (sorry for the quality). Some shots are of Polish Tatras
and some shots are of me (young and with black hair) and my friends having fun.
The one thing I promised to myself is that no matter how old I am, I will always try to
have fun. Life is too short ...
