Agnes grew up in Poland and came to the United States in her early twenties. She graduated from the University of Michigan with degree in Economics and soon after began working in the financial industry. She has always loved travel and adventure. After a 2008 trip to Peru to climb Machu Picchu, she came back with new mission in her heart.

Inspired by her long time friend Mirek she decided to pursue climbing. She started off by getting into a regular work out regiment and after several weeks of preparations, she took off to New Hampshire to attempt a winter ascent on Mt. Washington. That winter she reached summit of Mt. Washington and she discovered ice climbing, experienced winter camping and learned basic mountaineering. She instantly fell in love with climbing and developed an eagerness to learn and explore more.

Summer brought new adventures and challenges. From mountain biking, hiking in TN, paragliding and rock climbing to her birthday skydiving jump, she rediscovered herself and found new side to her that she never knew she had. With Mirek away climbing in Alaska in summer of 2009 she made preparations for both of them to climb Mt. Rainier. In August 2009 together they successfully conquered the summit of Mt. Rainier (14,411 feet). The 2010 season has started off with more ice climbing in Canada as well as in New Hampshire.

During the summer of 2010 Agnes and Mirek will be climbing together in Peru and organizing an expedition to climb Alpamayo (19,511 ft) in 2011. She is a firm believer that “it’s better to see once than hear a hundred times” and she is very excited to share her experiences and passions with others.
