Maciek Ciesielski

I am an IFMGA certified guide. I was born in 1980, in the flattest area of a flat country: Poland. There were not any mountains around home. But I was very lucky! My physics teacher, a great alpinist and person, inspired me to climb and discover the mountains. Since then, I have climbed amazing peaks, in spectacular places like Patagonia, Canada, Pakistan, Greenland and US.

In 2002, 15 years ago, I made a decision that changed my life. I decided to quit my job as a sewage engineer and fly to Alaska. In four weeks I made four ascents. Then, I moved to Yosemite, in the US. That's when my life started to revolve entirely around climbing. I spent winter climbing in Patagonia, the US or Canada, spring in Yosemite, and summer in Greenland or Pakistan. My life followed the sun and the snow.

Then, I decided to become a profesional, and got my IFMGA certification. Today I divide my time between Poland an Chamonix, France. I enjoy guiding and practicing almost every type of climbing. And I love spending time with my beautiful family, more than anything. I have a baby son, a beautiful daughter and the best partner ever: my wife.
