A few years ago I had the privilege of traveling through Iran, climbing its big mountains. What I found there surprised me. A secular, vibrant middle class who came to the mountains for the same reason most of us do. For that feeling of freedom and tranquility that only snow and thin air seem to provide. The higher we would go in the mountains and the further we got from the religious police the more my Persian climbing partners would open up. Everyone had a story to tell. Many had been to prison during the Green Revolution. Most felt caught between a country that they love and a government that they despise. I hope that relations between our countries will thaw and that I will once again be able to head into the mountains with my Persian friends.
