Nikola was born in Belgrade in 1979. and he lives there since.

Spending holidays in the mountains of Serbia and Croatia, early, he realized that real adventure was in the nature, so Nikola’s main interests and passions became within mountaineering disciplines such as hiking, trekking, alpinism and sport climbing. More than 100 summits, in which majority are the summits above 2000m, with a very high degree of success, gives him a great deal of experience. Mountains that require endurance and technique are the epithet which he wants to build his name. He personally guided or assisted over 500 climbers to reach their peak or goal. He’s an avid alpine climber, climbing over 200 alpine and sport routes all around Europe, with a lot of first accents, thus focusing on his technical skills as a climber. He always says that he acts like an athlete and thinks like an engineer, which gives Nikola a sort of calm stability and high focus when the situation requires.

Kenan is born on 17th of January 1975 in Sarajevo, where he lives and work as well. He fell in love in nature and mountains ever since he was a little boy, and continued on this path today, as an active mountaineer and alpinist for over ten years. He is also a caver and quite active backcountry skier.

Last years he was working on landmine clearance projects abroad, and he spent more than five years in the fields of Africa and Tajikistan. He successfully summited numerous peaks above two thousand meters, but his most significant ascents are highest peak of Ethiopia – Ras Dashen 4550 m, highest peak of Swiss Douforspitze 4632 m, Peak Energy (5120 m) in Fan mountains (Tajikistan), highest peaks of Kenya, Nelion (5188 m) and Batiyan (5199 m), Kilimanjaro 5890 m, and Ama Dablam 6812 m.
