The organizers of these expeditions were the High Mountain Club Trójmiasto and the High Mountain Club Kraków, and the participants included the most outstanding Polish mountaineers, such as Jerzy Kukuczka, Andrzej Heinrich and Tadeusz Piotrowski. Their struggles, the dramatic events on the mountain slopes and the spirit of those times are described in this book.

Michał Kochańczyk is not only a Tatra mountaineer and alpinist, but also a polar explorer, sailor and Africanist. He is an adventurer who has been associated with Gdańsk since birth and with mountaineering for 50 years.
