The Mountain Climbing Union in the Kurdistan Region announced today, Saturday, the opening of a metal path for climbers in the Qardagh area, south of Sulaymaniyah. The union stated in a press release that "it hopes the opening of the metal path (Masoran Pass) will encourage mountain climbing groups to move away from random and unregulated activities in the field of mountain climbing, and also serve as a solid foundation for advanced mountain climbing in the Kurdistan Region," according to the news agency "Nass."
