Hehe the Japanese have a word for girls like Samina: 山ガール (Yama Girl) or an outdoorsy girl that's into mountain climbing ^__^

I really appreciate the northern areas, I think it's great she's promoting that.... and egalitarianism,not "feminism"

This is good thing. Women started to take their rights but one thing when actually women is considered to be empowered.

What do you mean Women have started taking their rights? They have all the rights! mountain climbing or any other kind of adventure is not a right, neither is it prohibited. if you have what it takes, go do it be it man, woman, young, old, child, no one ever stops anyone. When parents voice their concerns for their kids, its not suppression, its their concern for their offspring's safety and well being, happens everywhere in the world.

This is good thing. Women started to take their rights but one thing when actually women is considered to be empowered.
