Greetings from Iran from the "X Group"! Today we reached our goal and climbed Mount Damavand. The day before there was a thunderstorm with snow all evening, so we postponed the start time several times. In the end, we finally waited for a weather window and successfully climbed to the top. On the descent, we were caught in a thunderstorm with snow again. But now we are already in the camp and resting.
