| We have reached the summit of Mt. Damavand on skis in April, 26, 2004. Then, a ski descend via the Shelter III and Shelter II on the south side. First 300 altitude meters there were the snow conditions really terrible due to the Damavand's volcanic activity. Then, a great and wonderful skking! | |

| Damavand is a great mountain. Iranians also great people and they help us in everything. We was a team with 4 Greeks, 1 Czech, and Turkish and we were guided by Mehdi from Tehran a very good climbing guide. The north route is not so easy, the are a rock part about III-IV difficult. More info see my web page in the Links. | |

| Iran is a nice country with GREAT people. First day from Goosfand Sara to shelter at 4150m, got sick because of altitude, next day rest at shelter at 4150m and 3rd day from the shelter to the summit without problems in 4,5 hours, back down in 2 hours. Only negative thing is the sulfer near the summit but.... a great mountian to climb. Very beautiful. | |

| After a three days brutal snowstorm we reached the summit. It was a shiny happy but terribly cold day when we get the top! | |

| I sumitted Damavand about 2 years ago. On the sumit I met a girl named Vida Namdar. I was wondering if anybody knows her. She was a student at a local university and member of the moutaineering federation. Please contact me at reza_okhravi@hotmail.com Thanks | |

| This year (2002) I and my wife,Sarah,accompanying with two of my friends,Hossein & Akram ascended DAMAVAND. Somehow this ascend was to the memorial of the first anniversary of our engagement cermony on ALLAH O AKBAR wall with the height of 200 meters.On the height of 150 meters I and Sarah exchanged rings.It was a kind of adventurous cermony!!! Something that I should mention about DAMAVAND is the fact that SICKNESS OF MOUNTAIN and the SMELL OF SOLFOUR must be taken under considration. Using garlic could help with the problem of SOLFOUR. | ||

| I summited Damavand on Septebmer 4th 2001. The trip started from Tehran to town of Polour and then on to village of Reineh. From there we went to the base camp and stayed there for the night for acclimatization. Next day we climbed to the mid-camp (Bargah e sevom) and stayed overnight. The next day some of us successfully summited. I summited at 1:40 PM. It was the greatest experience of my life. There were 9 people in our expedition. Denis, Colin and Alistair from Scotland and three Iranians in our team Fereidoon, his brother Kamal and myself (Reza). The scotts had came to Iran on business and Fereidoon was their colleague. No they were not wearing skirts even though they were from Scotland. We had a lot of fun. Scotts summited first and I summited 3 hours later and Fereidoon and Kamal returned midway. Altitude sickness is a defenite problem, take your time, start early, pack light and use the mule service available at the base camp to carry your stuff up to midcamp. good luck to all. | |
