The 7 Summits Club group "Masha and the Lions" climbed to the assault camp of Damavand and is ready to go to storm the summit
A guide of the 7 Summits Club Valery Myasoedov reports from Iran:
Greetings from Iran! The group "Masha and the Lions" has reached the final part. Tomorrow early in the morning we are scheduled to go to the summit of Damavand. The day before, we climbed to the assault camp at 4200 m, at a good pace in 5 hours, which shows the good physical fitness of the participants. We were accommodated in the best "rooms" of the shelter, and delicious food and a pleasant time spent talking and playing Perudo create a favorable atmosphere. Today before lunch we made a short acclimatization hike to 4500 m. During the day we discussed organizational aspects of the upcoming ascent. The mood is the most decisive, wish us luck!
