Janez Golob

was born into a woodworker's family, later earned a degree in architecture and taught technical subjects at a secondary wood engineering school. Now in retirement, Janez still designs unique woodturning products.

He is a mountain rescue team member and a mountain guide and has a thorough knowledge of Slovenian and foreign mountains. He has climbed in the Alps, the Caucasus and was a member of two Himalayan expeditions.

Designing this route and leading parties is a natural challenge for Janez, since it is, in his words,

“about introducing new people to the part of Slovenia that has rich history and an unspoilt environment”.
