A lot of recollections in time. The driving habits in Iran are so over the top. To cross a Tehran street is much more dangerous than any mountains in the world. :-)
A wonderful place for climbing. So many peaks to choose from. Hashim's dress is not uncommon though. I met many Iranian climbers on high altitude and hard routes in street/home clothing.
It is good to hear that you have summitted and back. I apologize again that I could not join you in Iran. In this period I have climbed some traditional multipitch rock climbing routes in Aladaglar and still establishing new ones.
