The 7 Summits Club group "Masha and the Lions" started the acclimatization part of the Damavand climbing program
The guide of the 7 Summits Club, Valery Myasoedov, reports from Iran:
Hi from Iran! The group "Masha and the Lions" began the acclimatization part of the program on the second day of their stay in the country. In the early afternoon, we climbed the cable car to 3,600 m and checked into the cozy Hotel Tochal. The accommodations for a high-altitude hotel are luxurious. The good food, the comfortable rooms, the recreation area, all contribute to acclimatization and recovery. In the afternoon, we climbed to the top of Mount Shah Nesh, 3,800 meters, and enjoyed a panoramic view of Tehran. Suddenly, the Damavand, which is usually hidden in the mist, opened up. In the evening, Andrey Selivanov gave a lecture on hypoxic training in preparation for climbing. Our participants showed great interest and asked many questions. The guides are Andrey Selivanov and Valery Myasoedov.
