Leaving Camp 2 Behind And Below

Polour, Iran

Day 2 was our acclimatization day. We ascended as far up as we could to gain some height and then descended and stayed one more night in Camp 2.

Camp 2 Goosfand Sara is a mountain camping site located at altitude 3040 m.
There is a small mountain shelter or refuge, a mosque called Saheb Zaman (or Saheb al Zaman) in which we spent two nights, and a sheepfold.
There are two rooms in the mosque for group accomodation, usually crowded in summer. But they were vacant at our arrival and we could stay overnight in there, instead of sleeping in tents.

On the horizon there is Dobrar (Ghareh Dagh) Ridgeline of the Central Alborz Mountains - an impressive 52 Km long mountain chain that forms a continuous wall in the southeastern portion of the Central Alborz Mountains of northern Iran.
This ridgeline gives rise to more than 20 named peaks and many other unnamed high points.
The elevations of 5 of these peaks exceed 4000 m. and the highest of them is the 4072 m summit of the West Dobrar Peak.
