PIOTREK DESKA/RED BULL ILLUME<br />

MIRÓW, POLAND<br />

Rock star<br />

Located in the south of the country,<br />

the Polish Jura is a limestone<br />

playground for sports climbers who can<br />

choose from thousands of routes<br />

leading into deep forest, surrounded by<br />

medieval castles in various states of<br />

repair. For photographer Piotrek Deska,<br />

who grew up on the northern edge of<br />

the area, climbing the Jura was almost<br />

a rite of passage. But it was a pure<br />

landscape image he’d intended to<br />

capture on camera – this lone climber<br />

ascended the Turnia Kukuczki crag<br />

(named after legendary Polish alpinist<br />

Jerzy Kukuczka) at exactly the right<br />

moment to add some action.<br />
