Few are brave enough to climb Afghanistan's rugged mountains. But for women, harassment from extremist groups make practicing outdoor sports even more difficult. A new organization is helping women find peace living in the war-stricken country by teaching them how to hike and rock climb. Julia Griffin reports on how women in Afghanistan are conquering new heights.
