In order to make a complete analysis of mountain disasters since last spring, Alpine Club of Iran (ACI) has called all specialists to review these events by more details.
Abbas Mohammadi, head of ACI told IMZ: "This idea originated after the big avalanche in middle Alborz range, where 7 people along with famous Farshad Khalili were hit to their death on February 4, 2010 to bold it as one of the most disastrous days in country’s mountaineering history."
"Also on May 4, 2009, Mehdi Etemad-Far fell to his death, while pushing Dhaulagiri’s summit in a bad weather and after that, Abbas Jafari, a well-known alpinist and one of the foregoers of wilderness exploring in Iran missed on September 7, 2009, when kayaking in Trishuli river in Nepal," Mohammadi said, "these three happenings persuade us to entitle our idea; "Why experienced people entrapped evitable disasters in wilderness?"."
