Along the way, familiar to him, passes them sinewy old man - an athlete. Scantily dressed in red shorts with white trim and shod in sneakers older chooses one of the possible paths that lead him to the top of the rock. Without any protection and T-shirt simply got up. On how the climbing is not only to see that familiar way, but also that he just believes in his ability.

Although he chose easier way, any hesitation risks fall that his age would probably mean a serious injury. Without hesitation and emotion in a few moments got up, masterfully.

It wasn´t about how difficult it is the way up but how easily the older rock climbing matador climbed. He trusted only himself, but also on train his unshakable psyche. Within minutes he was down again. Dusted off his hands, said hallo the others and walked rapidly on its way. Climbing young guys just shaking head in disbelief. Those who knew him, smiled appreciatively - as always when they met him in the rocks.

Most of them thought about him that the ease with which they cope with the rock, overcomes obstacles and personal. In his case, probably not wrong. This rule says he always works. "Psyche plays a large role in climbing, but can´t say that a man who climbs well is then mentally balanced in life," refutes the theory of a clear eye Korejs Kamil, an instructor at the Prague Horoškoly Mammut. "I personally know a lot of climbers, who are very erratic, but this is changing very quickly once a man reaches the rock. He forgets everything else and just crawling," he explains.

Even the people who lead very erratic life, according to him can be good climbers. Just to prove it is important to concentrate on performance, especially the outside or on the rocks high in the mountains, where they pay dearly for mistakes. The fact that the peaceful nature of people have an easier live, not just climb, hold generally, of course.
