Climbing:
Mountains have always been more than just heights for Ihor Kushnir - they are a challenge to himself, a way to find inner harmony and feel freedom. His mountaineering journey began in 2006 with the conquest of Khan Tengri (7010 m), which was a turning point in his life.
Since then, he has conquered dozens of peaks as part of international programmes such as Snow Leopard, 7 Summits and 8-thousanders. Each climb is a separate story filled with trials, victories and unforgettable emotions.
This section describes the most important achievements of Ihor Kushnir, which became part of his life's journey and an example of inspiration for many.
