Explanations

Alam Kooh is a mountain in Alborz mountain range in the north of Iran and the second highest peak in Iran. Alam means some sort of object standing straight like a flag and Kooh means mountain. The north face (a little toward north-west) is actually a giant vertical wall. This big wall and impression of climbing it, is what makes Alamkooh famous and demanded for climbers. Anyway Alam Kooh wall fame is not for being the tallest wall of Iran and it isn't, but the fame is for being the wall having the highest altitude at base and peak it means no other wall in Iran is located on a higher place than Alam Kooh wall. Hesar Chal plain with height of 3900 meter in south of Alam Kooh is surrounded by big glaciers which descend toward it. A beautiful lake in this plain is another attraction to choose this rout, and many climbers choose south face to watch these beauties.
