The Russian aggression against Ukraine has been going on for more than a year. For the Ukrainian climbing community it is another year of struggle to fulfill their dreams and achieve their sporting goals. The Polish Mountaineering Association in cooperation with Skarpa Bytom-Rozbark through the PZA4UA action is trying to raise funds to enable the athletes of the National Team of Ukraine in sport climbing to continue their training, participate in international competitions and secure their basic needs.
