Avalanche

Avalanche
Mt. Damavand South Route Avalanche
The most significant cause of an avalanche is the slope angle, Mount Damavand south face clasic route is well known for its moderate route angle and gentle trail slope, therefore there is not a major risk of snow and rock avalanches on this route, particularly on the footpaths the risk is the least possible.

If you follow the proper trails on the ridges and avoid unnecessary traverse, ascend or descends through valleys/canyons, there is no risk of snow or rocks avalanche. But there is a small risk of rocks falling rapidly down the mountainside, specially in summer if you miss your way and end up in a valleys/canyons.
See also Damavand Difficulty and climbing grade.

Road Avalanche
The most serious and common avalanche zones are the roads which lead to the mountain such as Haraz, Polour and Reyneh Roads, ( also the Lasem Road), actually before you reach to the Mt Damavand winter starting point (No 5 in GPS Landmark), there are powerful avalanches with the capability to carry a large amount of snow, ice, rocks, and other material to close the roads and block or delay the traffic towards the mountain.
Also there are some minor rock avalnches in other seasons on the mentioned roads. These avalanches typically occur and trigger from natural, cars or human activities.

Warning
- Please be advised that other faces of Damavand are not recommended for any winter climb, ski moutaineering or winter activity.
- Remember that any Mt Damavand ascends, in any season, should be done only in appropriate routes in suitable weather, otherwise it could be very tough and dangerous. See also warning in Winter Climb.
- Avoid any climb through Kafar Dareh Valley on the south route, because always there is a big risk of snow or rock avalanche.

FootnoteWhen you ascending from south route, Kafar Dareh Valley is located on your right hand side and Mt Damavand Icefall 5100m is located at the top of this huge valley/canyon.

100-Damavand

100 Damavand Club
Think Less Climb More!
This topic belongs to those who have managed to climb 100 times or more to Mt Damavand summit !
There are great mountain climbers in Iran climbing society, such as mountaineering, alpine style climbing , speed climbing, rock climbing and other mountaineering activities. But there are only a few who can claim to be the member of "The 100 Damavand Club", because there is no reliable source and place to record such a information and facts for this mountain or for other Iran mountains, unfortunately Iran Mount Federation is the last organization to know about such data!

Mount DamavandIran

Despite lack of sufficient data we have decided and started to collect info in this regard, we are not sure how far we can go, but we know a great walk always starts with the first step! So we take the opportunely to say that MDG weblog and the website MDIC, the home of Damawand lovers, are the first and best place to publish such information! We will update this page when we find these guys. We welcome any info in this regard.
