“The Centre for Himalayan Mountaineering aims to spread awareness about the many outstanding achievements that have been attained by Poles so far in this area,” Morawiecki said.

He added that the new facility "will also encourage young climbers and trailblazers by showing them the road to success through effort, tenacity, discipline, hard work and experience.”
