With Diar we met in 2024 at the Marimangat climbing hall. I quickly noticed his passion and professionalism. With Diar we met in 2024 at the Marimangat climbing hall. At first, apart from the talks, we were a little reserved, but when it came time to organize climbing camps by the Marimangat association and the Peja Outdoor Festival festival, I had to ask for his help since he knew climbing. There I noticed that I was dealing with a man passionate about climbing, a calm and patient climber during work, communicative and with a lot of willpower, as well as a good knowledge of equipment use and professional climbing skills. Now with Diari, climbing connects us a lot and in almost every activity we carry out with the association, he is present to assist us.
