Greetings from Iran! Yesterday, the "Masha and the Lions" group in full force climbed the summit of Damavand! The weather was ideal, it was practically windless and sunny. We left at three o'clock in the morning in full force, then nevertheless divided along the way into those who were faster and those who were moderate. But the main thing is that everyone was at the top in 7.5 hours maximum time. Now that's moderate, you might say! The descent also went at an excellent pace, so we were already at the hotel by 9:00 PM. A hot shower and dinner at the restaurant were a great end to such a busy day. Everyone is great! Both Masha and the lions!
