Mt Damavand Difficulty and Climbing Grade
The difficulty and toughness of Mt Damavand 5671 m in Iran is almost the same as Mt Kilimanjaro 5892 m in Tanzania and Mt Everest Base Camp 5380 m in the Himalayan Mountain Range.
Mt Damavand is well-known for its mild slops, climb to the summit is technically easy but physically moderate and climbers should be fit enough to try it, the major challenge of the ascend is acclimatization and weather.
Remember that the ascend should be done only in a correct timing and in a suitable weather, otherwise mountaineering is very tough and risky in a bad weather condition and off-season.
