A certain tradition is developing. We started the morning with a high-altitude exercise and an excellent national breakfast.

We slowly descended by cable car to Tehran and drove to the foot of Damavand. Already, almost in the native restaurant "Adam and Eve", we had lunch with a lot of kebabs.  It's very tasty, it's pointless to write, you need to try!

We received climbing permits from the local Mountaineering Federation and came to the Larijan thermal springs resort. This is "real mountaineering": kebabs, springs, swimming!

Dinner, as always, at the local wonderful kebab shop with seven types of kebabs. The real work begins tomorrow, we will climb to the hut of the assault camp at an altitude of 4250m.

All salam from Iran! Today, our group called "The Third Mountain" went up to the Tochal ski resort to the alpine hotel of the same name – Tochal.  To a height of 3500m, for primary acclimatization.

The ascent was not difficult, as we used the "technical support" of the local cable car.

After lunch, the weather began to deteriorate, and we decided not to waste time and instead of the Shah Neshin mountain (3800m) go straight to the Peak of Tochal - 3964m. We managed, before the thunderstorm, which came as soon as we entered the hotel.

We went in “pole-pole”, in a very comfortable aerobic mode! After trekking, we did stretching and rest on the eve of dinner.
