Freddy Akbari, a professional mountain climber, said that this trend has resulted in joining of the new climbers in Damavand Trekking tours without the necessary equipment and knowledge.
This condition ultimately causes the emergence of various unwanted events such as littering, vandalism, immoral acts, and various other things that do not deserve to be called climbers.
“Nowadays climbing Damavand has become a trend among the youth. But many of them just are joining Damavand Trekking tours due to fancy pictures shared by the professionals on social media, “he said.
In order to take Damavand Trek you need to have the minimum knowledge of outdoor activities such as travel management, survival, land navigation, emergency first aid (PPGD), and so on.
“Education such as travel management tips is very important for Damavand climbers to avoid the worst risk factors such as getting lost, getting cold, and even dying,” he said.
In addition to understanding travel management, the person who is eagerly interested in climbing Damavand should ideally be able to appreciate the surrounding environment of Damavand, have a good attitude and be physically and spiritually healthy.
For this reason, he suggested that beginner climbers need to equip themselves with travel management and take a professional tour guide to climb this mountain. Climbing Damavand is one of the extreme activities and require readiness both physically, mentally, and, knowledge.
