We want to pass climbing on the way we love it ourselves.

Anča Šebestíková

Climber and climbing instructor · IFMGA mountain guide in training

An all-round climber drawn above all to cracks and corners of every size. Her heart belongs to the sandstone towers, Adršpach most of all, though she has loved the mountains since childhood. And although she is not exactly a winter person, she always enjoys ski touring and alpinism when they come around.

She was a member of Sokolíci, the Czech youth alpinism team, where she works as a mentor today. With the team she travelled to the Nangmah valley in Pakistan, her biggest expedition so far. Last year she also started the IFMGA mountain guide training programme. She has been teaching climbing since 2017.

Despite various injuries she always comes back to the places she loves stronger than before, and she trusts it will stay that way. Her biggest dream is to climb big walls around the world, and alongside that to work on smaller, interesting projects in her beloved sandstone areas.

Away from climbing she works in software and data. She studied Data Engineering and now spends most of her time on ClimbSoft, a platform for coordinating climbers’ testing and training.

František D’Agostino

*2001 Climber and rock climbing instructor

An all-round mountaineer who, as a member of the Czech national team, regularly collects awards for significant ascents of hard routes on big walls. He has been climbing since the age of 11, and in 2020 he joined Sokolíci, the national team of young alpinists, and went to the mountains to climb for the first time. Since that first visit to the Swiss Alps, multi-pitch climbing has become his main passion.

Alongside hard ascents in the Alps he has two trips to Yosemite and two expeditions to the Pakistani Karakoram behind him, and his ambitions and plans for the future are big. Besides the mountains he climbs mainly on Czech sandstone (Broumovsko, Děčínsko), but he also boulders and sport climbs. He enjoys pushing his limits and sharing his passion with people, on the rock and off it.

Besides climbing he studies fine art at UMPRUM in Prague, and in 2026 he had several solo and group exhibitions.
