Pavúk (2018)

Overview

A portrait of the controversial figure of Czechoslovak mountaineering, Pavel Pochylý (1945–2000), nicknamed Pavouk (Spider). He lived by the credo that impossible is just one of many possibilities. His life story is still breathtaking today. He lived in the golden age of mountaineering. Pochylý is largely responsible for the fact that the space for achievements and problem solving in the Tatras has narrowed. He solved all the most significant challenges of the steep Tatra walls, thus indelibly writing himself into the history of Czechoslovak mountaineering.
