Kostya Garmash
Hello adventurers! I'm Kostya, a passionate rock climber specializing in bouldering and a love for the ocean's waves. I started my climbing journey in Ukraine, where I actively competed in national competitions, bagging several awards. Since moving to Seattle nine years ago, I've been a proud member of the Seattle Bouldering Project. My passion for heights isn't just restricted to boulders. I've scaled majestic peaks like Elbrus, Kazbek, and the challenging terrains of the Bezengi and Caucasus mountains, remembering the proud Mount Rainier. But when I'm not in the mountains, you'll find me riding the Pacific Northwest waves, having immersed myself in surfing since 2015. When the mountains are white, I ski, especially freeriding, with Mount Adams being one of my favorite spots. As the creator of the Rope Jumping team "Extreme Adventures," I've taken the thrill of adventure to another level, jumping off cliffs tethered to a rope. Whether slacklining, hiking or any other outdoor sport, my heart beats for the thrill. Let's embark on an exhilarating journey together!
