Janez Krušič earned his place at the very top of Slovenian alpinism through his ascents and new routes. Throughout his life, he was active in the Jesenice Mountaineering and Alpine Club as well as the Mountain Guide Service, which he helped shape. He was also known for his selflessness in the Mountain Rescue Service, where he played a key role in numerous demanding rescue operations. In this bachelor's thesis, we relied on various sources, among which his only surviving, eleventh diary held a central place, as it offers insight into his activities in the mountains at the peak of his mountaineering career. Alongside presenting Krušič's life, we also provided a historical overview of Slovenian mountaineering and alpinism, showcasing the development of the organizations he was part of. The main objective of the thesis was to increase the recognition of Janez Krušič in the Slovenian space.
