Alam-Kuh

Alam-Kūh (Persian: علم‌کوه; also: Alam Kooh) or Mount Alam is a mountain in Alborz mountain range in northern Iran, Mazandaran Province, forming a peak of Takht-e Suleyman Massif.

[2] The first recorded ascent of the peak was made from Hazarchal over the south face by the German Bornmüller brothers during their six-month botanical exploration of the Alborz in 1902.

In addition to local climbers, the north face attracts European climbing teams.

[6] Most of the fixed ropes were severely damaged during a major 6.3 magnitude earthquake[7] and consequent rockfall in 2004.

The mountain was closed to climbers for some months because of the hazard of rockfall and loose cables.
