Alam-Kuh, Mountain summit in Mazandaran Province, Iran
The granite north face of Alam-Kuh rises to 4,848 meters, making it the second-highest mountain peak in Iran after Mount Damavand.
German mountaineers Alfred and Joseph Bornmüller accomplished the first documented climb of Alam-Kuh in 1902 during their exploration of the Alborz mountains.
The mountain serves as a central gathering point for Iranian mountaineers who establish base camps in Vandarbon and Kelardasht before their expeditions.
Climbers need specialized equipment including crampons and ice axes to navigate the technical routes, particularly when ascending the steep north face.
The permanent snow fields and glaciers on Alam-Kuh create conditions similar to those found in the European Alps, attracting international climbing expeditions.
