This report is a description of events started with the idea formation of "2nd Superior Rock Climbing Festival" by ALPINE CLUB OF IRAN (ACI) and ended with 14 new routes on "Sang-e-Sar Sol" wall in Semnan province north of Iran.
First day of July, 2009 was a Wednesday that a hot news but to some extent vague came up on the official website of Alpine Club of Iran; "Detect Big Walls in Your Area". ACI was looking for information about virgin walls throughout the country to define a new route opening project for a common Iranian and French team among mutual collaborations between them and French "GHM". This began in 2007, when 3 members of "GHM" came to Iran during the "1st Superior Rock Climbing Festival" and hold courses on "Aid Climbing Techniques" to a group of Iranian climbers, who were gathered by ACI.
The deadline was passed and there was just one pack of information on the desk. It was about a rocky canyon in NW side of Mahdi-Shahr city in "Semnan" province that is called "Karkouh" canyon.
