This report is a description of events started with the idea formation of "2nd Superior Rock Climbing Festival" by ALPINE CLUB OF IRAN (ACI) and ended with 14 new routes on "Sang-e-Sar Sol" wall in Semnan province north of Iran.
First day of July, 2009 was a Wednesday that a hot news but to some extent vague came up on the official website of Alpine Club of Iran; "Detect Big Walls in Your Area". ACI was looking for information about virgin walls throughout the country to define a new route opening project for a common Iranian and French team among mutual collaborations between them and French "GHM". This began in 2007, when 3 members of "GHM" came to Iran during the "1st Superior Rock Climbing Festival" and hold courses on "Aid Climbing Techniques" to a group of Iranian climbers, who were gathered by ACI.
 The deadline was passed and there was just one pack of information on the desk. It was about a rocky canyon in NW side of Mahdi-Shahr city in "Semnan" province that is called "Karkouh" canyon.

The AAC will host a delegation of ACI members at the Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch from June 24 to July 4, 2010. The Alpine Club of Iran plans to reciprocate in late September, 2010, by hosting a delegation of ten members of the AAC in Iran. While the focus of the exchanges will be climbing, the delegations will also engage in discussion of alpine conservation issues and programs.
The Iranian delegation will be made up of ACI members who represent a broad spectrum of age, gender, climbing interests and skills. The AAC intends to match the Iranian participants with compatible AAC host climbers. AAC host climbers should be familiar with the Teton Range and will be responsible for their own expenses at the Climbers' Ranch. Any AAC member interested in volunteering to partner with our Iranian guests should email us for more information.
The AAC is also accepting applications from its members for the AAC to Iran portion of the exchange. Iran offers a rich variety of climbing opportunities, including alpine mountaineering, high quality cragging, and big wall climbing. Iran is also a fascinating country to visit: rich in history, varied in cultures, and world class in hospitality. AAC delegates will be responsible for the airfare from their home to Tehran. The ACI will cover AAC participants' lodging, food, and transportation expenses in Iran.

Dear All,
International Mountain Day provides us with an opportunity to join with our friends and colleagues from the Hindu Kush-Himalayas and the rest of the world in creating awareness about the importance of mountains for sustenance, to highlight the opportunities and constraints in mountain development, and to build partnerships that will help bring positive change in the world's mountains and highlands.
The theme of this year‘s World International Mountain Day is ‘Disaster Risk Management in Mountains’. The theme aims to raise awareness of the increasing number of natural hazards in mountain areas and the increasing vulnerability of mountain communities to disasters. It draws the attention of policymakers to the need to adopt climate change adaptation strategies that reduce the risks of disasters in mountain areas. For example, sustainable water management, and agricultural, rangeland, and forestry practices should be put in place as key elements of risk reduction approaches at national and regional levels as part of integrated strategies and policies. In view of the increasing number of disasters in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region – for example the Kashmir Earthquake in 2007, China Earthquake in 2008, Koshi Floods in 2008, and Aila cyclone in 2009, the theme appears
