Gusta at Aero - Lukáš Černý and colleagues | Diáky

When Gusta started climbing, it was not yet a modern sport. There were no climbing walls, holds, or specialized climbing shoes. Yet even then it had a deep history, a strong ethic, and above all a spirit of adventure. Gusta took up climbing at fifteen — and this year he celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday.

For his decades-long dedication to the mountains and climbing, he has become a living legend of Czech mountaineering. This documentary portrait captures his life, his philosophy, and the evolution of climbing from its early days to the present.
