Stanisław Krystyn Zaremba
Stanisław Krystyn Zaremba (August 15, 1903, Cracow – January 14, 1990, Aberystwyth, Wales) was a Polish climber, mountaineer and mathematician. He was the son of the mathematician Stanisław Zaremba.
He studied mathematics at Jagiellonian University (1921–1924 and 1926–1929) and in Paris (1924–1926). After his studies he worked as an assistant at Vilnius University, and from 1936 he was an associate professor at Jagiellonian University. He later lectured in Stalinabad (now Dushanbe), England, Wales, the United States and Canada, eventually settling in Wales, where he died in 1990. He visited Poland several times, lecturing at the Jagiellonian University in 1981.
As a climber, Zaremba was most active in 1925–1927, especially in winter. He opened several new routes in the Tatra Mountains, including on Little Kozi Wierch, Wieliczka Peak, Mięguszowiecki Peak and Durny Peak, and he made winter ascents on Hruby Wierch, Zadni Kościelec and Jaworowy Peak. He also climbed in the Alps, the Pyrenees and mountains in Lebanon, Iran, Wales and Tajikistan. He edited the Taternik magazine and was an honorary member of the Polish Alpine Association. In Wrocław a dwarf in the Alpinki group is named Zarembek in his honor.
