About Alex Tompio
I fell in love with the mountains in the summer of 2010, in the Sayram-su canyon in the northern Tian Shan range. A month later, back in St. Petersburg, I enrolled in an alpine club and, since then, the mountains have been a constant source of interest for me. From early on, I realized that the mountains had a very special effect on me and decided to try to convey this knowledge to others. A mountain experience has many points in common with a psychotherapy session so the idea of combining a simple mountain trek with a full-fledged psychological training seemed so natural and obvious to me that I still wonder why nobody had thought of this. Mountains to me are not just a hobby but a way of getting to know yourself, to feel actually alive. Mountaineering helped me part with what I didn't like about my life, rebuild it and become more honest with myself.
