Common Mistakes in Mt Damavand Climbing
Some common mistakes cause new climbers and even experinced ones to be unsuccessful in Mt Damavand , by avoiding these mistakes you can increase your chance of ascend to the summit.
1- Climbing at night
Do not climb at night , use the day light only, best starting time from camp 3 to the summit is 5 to 6 am .
There is a wrong believe that suggest you to start your climbing from camp 3 ( Bargahe Sevom camp ) to the summit of mount damavand at night because of less sulfuric gas , but I strongly advise you never start at night even if you see some climbers do so . Because :
- During the night you can not find suitable footpaths and you make many mistakes.
- You have got less rest , you are not fresh enough .
- You will lose more energy because the weather is colder at night,
- Most important thing , you may be awake but you body is not and the biological clock of your body says it is sleeping time !!
Do not be afraid of sulfuric gas, have a little vinegar with you and make a vinegar mask for volcanic area of Mount Damavand , it helps you alot !
- About 60 to 70 percent of the climbers who start at night , do not succeed their climb and never see the summit !!
2- Sleeping in Camp3 old Shellter ( Bargah Sevom )
During the summer mt damavand Camp3 Shellter is too crowded and too noisy and is not suitable for use, you are advised to use your own tent for better comfort and privacy , bring and use a suitable tent . Remember that there is no other camp or shelter from this point upwards in the south route of mount Damavand.
The new hut will be ready for use in 2009 , you can use it with no problem.
3- Carring heavy equipment from base camp to camp3
Do not carry heavy equipments yourself from camp2 ( base camp ) to camp3 , carring heavy equipments by yourself will make you tired for the summit day, use mule and porters instead .
4- Less Acclimatization
If you live in a city with low elevation, like the sea level , you better to have extra rest at camp1 or camp3 for better acclimatization. Remmeber camp2 ist not recommended for use.
5- lack of sufficient information
If you intend to ascend to peak of Mt Damavand for the first time , you better to get some info like route map , equipment list , GPS landmark , camps , timing , itinerary and so on . It is recommended to have an experienced guide with you.
6- AMS Mountain Sickness
Take AMS seriously, a family of related medical conditions that sometimes develop when people travel to altitudes above 3500m (11,500ft), at times even lower. There is a wide variation in both the speed of onset, the severity of symptoms and also at the height at which they occur – this is different for each person. The problems are caused by lack of oxygen. Read more in Mountain Sickness .
7- Bad weather
Do not leave your camp and do not atempt climbig mt damavand when weather is not good enough . Mt Damavand weather looks good most of the time in summer , but it could change very rapidly and you may not have enough time or energy to find a suitable shelter. So please have sufficient cloths and equipments with yourself even during a good weather to save your life in case of emergency .
