Career
He lived in Krakow (South Poland). In 1961 he participated in the first ascent of the Central Pillar of Frêney on Mont Blanc by British-Polish team (with Don Whillans, Chris Bonington and Ian Clough). Długosz became the leading Polish climber in the mid-1950s due to his significant climbs in Tatras, including the two hardest one (at the date, and needing new aid equipment) routes in 1955 (so called Wariant R on the Mnich, with Andrzej Pietsch, and the left side of Kazalnica, with Czesław Momatiuk).
He made the first winter ascents (also demanding innovative tactics and techniques) of the hugest walls in Polish Tatras (1956, 1957).
