Introduction:

Thursday night, calling the incident a member of the Persian month Bahman Dizin Road Shemshak learned. An incident that led to the loss of six climbers from the club Damavand, a climber and a skier was Shemiran of ambition. Among the names of the climbers called F. Khalili famous climber and our old friend the most luck.

The accident at age 46 he earned it after climbing all the knowledge and experience of the sporting community, the heart of the mountain to bring the pain.

He spent at the peak of fitness, was also a scholastic level and also climbing Qbraq ready when climbing in and out of the country had done. Technical climbing expedition they led the team last spring that the 8000 meter peak climbed Gasherbrum 2.

His professional skiing and ski mountaineering in Iran was one of the pioneers whose main job management as well as a mountaineering company called "Mountain Community Leaders" and was accompanied by his fellow climbers had been working in education.

During the same night with one of the officials, club Damavand, preparedness and relief teams to help split the night but did not call, then I am ready, head Srkchal be present.

Description of Program:

After the accumulation of which 19 were children, the hours of 5:15 AM Syed smiling Shemshak moved on. After a brief explanation about the incident in the Persian month Bahman minibus Maygoon in my days. Shemshak when we have estimated the volume of snow about 40 cm. We will start the first high Shemshak road. Winter snow on the ridge to reach the expanded vaccination did. But when we reached the ridge we saw no snow on the ridge on a low ridge.

It was precisely the risk of loss felt Bahman, a wrong move could bring an accident. With the snow was powdery form, but it was very hard, and yet because the snow had fallen the previous icy, dangerous and was ready to collapse. Accelerated, but not much snow, we turn to tattoo.

In the early morning cold wind was still blowing, the wind with granular snow team members came to the head and face.

2 hours after vaccination with snow, wind down with a rock to rest and eat breakfast and get paid. Partially cloudy weather was predicted and was not clear whether it will or not. Weather forecast was cloudy with no precipitation. However, sub 12:30 to peak height of 3450 meters, we got this way. From here on it with a sharp slope down to 200 meters below the pass, we went down below to get detailed shelter. The fresh snow and loss of time in consultation with the experienced team, we decided to go with friends.

After we left the summit taking pictures quickly. It is noteworthy that the timely return of eighty percent of our previous footsteps vanished and was gone, because the wind and the snow was fresh. It took two hours and half way back. Ate lunch in a nearby road and ride minibus club, returned to Tehran.

Final point:

When returning to a few friends who had a high profile club Damavand all bodies have been pulled out from under the snow. With the short time we chat. Why do we believe when snow climbers and climbing up to 3 days, then we should not? This is not just a slogan claims? Why is it a team leader of Bahman (F. Khalili) was responsible, so should be on the road with the Persian month Bahman? Perhaps if each of us the same things we did instead:

1 - We have not canceled the program because of all her children were present and had already planned.
2 - did walk on the road because the car could not come up and we looked back to the house.
3 - The decision to pass on the Persian month Bahman, because we had already disposed to believe that this rate did not fall out again.
4 - we have to get out of the Persian month Bahman unique because of climbing ethics and sportsmanship that we only look at and Ahtyt ago, and so forth ...

If we think a simple answer is just this sentence:

Most climbers reasons we can not very sensitive at times logical and rational behavior rather than talent and enthusiasm we Svdman ruling, because if this was so (maybe not never had a real climber).
