- When protests erupted in Iran in fall of 2022, human rights activist and professional climber Nasim Eshqi was climbing in France. As she watched the uprising back home unfold, Nasim knew that returning home at that moment would mean arrest and imprisonment at the hands of the government. She doubled down on her criticism of Iran’s repressive regime and used her climbing to bring the struggle to the international climbing community.

Thank you for this episode. And huge respect for Nasim Eshqi. What a great climber and human being. What makes me sad is seeing all those negative comments. Could it be the consequence of long time propaganda in U.S. and other western countries or do my fellow climbers really live their heads in their asses and have lost what really is important in this world?
I assume you are aware that the cause of the Iranian revolution in 1979 was a violent dictatorship supported by the West just for oil. And by the way, it was the first stolen revolution. People wanted just to get rid of shah, but were replaced by Islamic terror. People are still struggling for their freedom and human rights there.
You should be proud that she is one of us and support ms. Eshqi all ways that is possible.
I'm jealous and hope to go to Iran someday. I did lots of Press TV interviews back in the day, before it got taken off the air. Now we're on the verge of war with Iran and it might not be possible to visit in the future.
Garbage. I’m here for climbing, I’ll try your next episode
😂mummy
Completely agree. This is a podcast for climbing not a platform for socio political agendas.
I'm sorry but this episode has just caused me to lose all respect for this podcast and actually alot for Alex as well. This is a climbing podcast and as much as I have a care for rights of all kinds, including those discussed here, I think this is a crass display of using a platform to cross in to socio-political matters that have no place here. Climbing is, as any climber will tell you, a place of inclusivity. Any one group of people who are not 'equally represented' in this, or any other sport, is not the fault of the sport or its participants. If I wanted to listen to this kind of virtue signalling I would choose a platform intended for that purpose.
