Biography
Luka Strazar, born October 5, 1988, is a Slovenian mountaineer. Luka went on to study geography at the University of Ljubljana. He began climbing with his father and eventually became an IFMGA mountain guide. He is considered one of the best of his generation. Originally from Slovenia, he distinguished himself with a technical and committed approach to mountaineering, favoring the alpine style and light ascents. A IFMGA mountain guide, he has completed more than ten high-altitude expeditions and received several major awards, including two Piolets d'Or, which recognize exceptional alpine ascents. Among his most notable achievements is the first ascent of Latok I via the north face, achieved in 2018 with Aleš Česen and Tom Livingstone, a feat hailed in the mountaineering world for solving one of the last great enigmas of the Karakoram after forty years of unsuccessful attempts. Luka Stražar has also opened new routes on technical peaks, such as the west face of Chobutse in Nepal, where he emphasized the importance of the aesthetics of the line and the joy of climbing, favoring lightweight, self-supporting expeditions over large commercial expeditions. In a constant quest for perfection, he continues to push the boundaries of modern mountaineering, while sharing his passion through his work as a guide and his commitment to ethical mountaineering that respects the mountains.
