The 2^nd superior rock climbing festival opened in Mahdi-Shahr city, north east of Semnan province on Tuesday, 17^th of November.
"Thirty climbers are here from cities of Tehran, Arak, Khoram-Abad, Semnan, Ghorveh, Ghazvin, Karaj and Mahdi-Shahr and two French guys as "GHM" representatives. They have all come here just for big wall climbing, bouldering and sport climbing. However, on the first day only 10 attendees climbed a few pitches on a vertical and somehow overhanging, conglomeratic wall in "Karkouh" canyon," Said festival manager, Farnoush Raeisi.
According to Farnoush, Francois Bernard and Antoine Cayrol presented some of their activities in fields of alpine climbing, big wall climbing and surveying poles.
