New Climbing Route in Lanzo Named After Mahsa Amini
Gian Maria Grassi and Renato Giustetto, two Italian climbers, have opened a new climbing route on the slopes of the Lanzo valley and named it after Mahsa Amini. Alberto Carsana, a national free climbing coach, commented on this decision, saying that opening a new route in the name of Mahsa Amini is a very significant action that reflects the growing sensitivity towards women, even in mountaineering. He mentioned that typically a new climbing route is named after someone who is usually a strong climber who has passed away prematurely. This is a way to honor and better recognize them.
