Nasim has strong hands adorned with hot-pink fingernail polish. She is the pioneer of outdoor climbing in Iran, where women should train on indoor walls only, during set hours, and only among other women. Nasim decided to go beyond the barriers imposed on women in her country, setting up her own route on the Persian rocks. She brings other young women to the walls, teaching them how to climb and get independent, and has a dream: open a new route on the Alps to become part of the climbing's elite.
