I have been involved in alpine climbing and mountaineering since 1992 and have been practicing as a trainer and alpine guide since 1996.I am a certified instructor, trainer and sports judge with a diploma from the Bulgarian Climbing and Mountaineering Federation and the National Sports Academy.Among my achievements is climbing the 1200 meters wall of Trango Tower (6250 m) in Pakistan in 1998, which is considered to be one of the most difficult Bulgarian big-wall ascents.I have climbed a lot of walls in the Alps and the Dolomites; I have also made first ascents of roughly 40 routes in Bulgaria and some speed solo records.
