Damavand 2024

Artyom Rostovtsev, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Iran:

 Hello to the 7 Summits Club! A ski-touring expedition to Asia's highest volcano, Mount Demavend, has ended. The weather has repelled our attempt at climbing, but we will be back. The team is already going home today. Yesterday we spent time on tours of Tehran, mostly wandering around the Grand Bazaar. And in the evening, at a gala dinner, we celebrated our successes and gained invaluable experience.

Artem Rostovtsev, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Iran:

 Greetings from Iran from the ski-tour team of on Demavend! Today was the most important day of our trip - we went out early in the morning to storm the summit. The weather forecast showed some kind of small window with a decrease in wind strength. So it was, but only for an hour. And then the storm started. They retreated at about an altitude of 5150m. There is a reserve day tomorrow, but perhaps not - the wind is 95km/h in the forecast. But none of the participants were upset, it was interesting and there is a reason to return.

Artem Rostovtsev, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Iran:

 Hello 7 Summits Club! The skitur Damavand expedition continues. We spent the second day in the vicinity of the Tochal ski resort. We caught good weather again in the afternoon, walked the species ring through the nearest ridge. And after dark, we checked our readiness for a night out on the Demavend - we went to the top of the Mount Tochal. Caught wind gusts up to 60km/h. As a result, we are ready to start climbing Damavand.
