THE STORY BEHIND VERTIREX
A new chapter. A continuing pursuit.
I’m Dima, a climber, retired U.S. Army special operations veteran, and volunteer on a technical search and rescue team. Based in Colorado, I’m drawn to demanding objectives and the preparation, judgment, and teamwork they require.
Vertirex follows my pursuit on rock, ice, and alpine terrain. I share experiences, decisions, and lessons from the mountains alongside practical tools I’m building for climbers.
THE JOURNAL
Experiences worth sharing. Lessons worth carrying forward.
Climbing stories, preparation, and decisions from time on rock, ice, and alpine terrain.
Rock
Crag days, longer routes, and the commitment behind each climbing objective.
Ice
Winter climbs, changing conditions, and the preparation each outing demands.
Alpine
Mountain objectives, trust between partners, and decisions made along the way.
