Route: Tochal

This is the traditional route up and down the highest peak near Tehran, Tochal 3963m. This is very popular with Tehran locals but not many international climbers due to the lack of tourism in Iran. The route is primarily hiking/running but some easy scrambling is required. It starts in a small town on the outskirts of Tehran and then goes up into the mountain with scrambling before the views really open up and you look down on Tehran city.
