Itinerary description

This week we had a special track. Originally planned to climb Kamal Summit, this track was converted into climbing Bozdagh and then a transit to Sahand via Shahyurdu Region. After climbing Bozdagh which was a normal climb, we climbed down from west side and continued climbing the ridge which connects it to Kamal Summit. This part of track was wholly covered with big rocks which were very unstable and dangerous. It took a lot of time for us to pass through it. This part was completely barren rocky mountain with no plant or even possibly animal! Then we climbed down and entered into Shahyurdu Valley through which we continued to Shahyurdu Shelter and after a little rest started climbing Sahand while it was twilight in the evening. We climbed Sahand through pitch dark of the night and reached to the top at about 11:30 pm. After setting our tents up we rested for the night and woke up at dawn to the freshening air and beautiful sunrise.
After breakfasting, we climbed down and hiked for the half of our way to Kurdadeh and returned home.
* Special hint: After climbing Bozdagh, if the mountaineers aren't ready enough, you can change the track to pass through the valley between Bozdagh and Kamal easily and then continue to Shahyurdu. The piece of track between these two peaks may be very difficult, tiring and dangerous for some!

    of course our imagination from darvishlar is different , the peak just in the south of kamal and taller than you called

    Thanks for your kind review. I asked Darvishlar from the locals and they showed thw two mountains near eachother which I have marked the foot of them but we didn't climb. Furthermore they told us that there are tombs at the top of both which, of course, are exhumed! They are south of Kamal but the peak right south of it should have another name which I forgot to ask!
