CECYLIA KUKUCZKA- PAWEL WYSOCZANSKI - KRZYSZTOF WIELICKI

Sunday December 8 – 19:30 Sala BBK

Jerzy Kukuczka, Jurek, came from a very humble background and yet managed to reach the highest levels of mountaineering. He is one of the best alpinists in history, a key figure in the Golden Age of Polish Himalayism. This year will be the 30th anniversary of his passing in Lhotse. This talk pays tribute to Kukuczka’s career and figure, by bringing together his widow Celina Kukuczka, his friend and climbing partner Krzysztof Wielicki and director of the movie ‘Jurek’ (2015 Best Mountaineering Film at Mendi Film) Pawel Wysoczanski.
