Dobarar Peak

Dobarar Peak is the highest summit of a continuous mountain range known as Maz, Qaradagh, and also by the name of its highest peak, "Dobarar". This range is part of the southern wall of the Central Alborz and lies between the Namrud River to the east and the Haraz River to the west. The lofty, uniform ridgeline of Dobarar has 23 high peaks, 12 of which are over 4,000 metres in elevation. Dobarar Peak is located in Mazandaran Province. Its 95-kilometre ridgeline begins south of Pelur district on the Haraz Road and, passing over high summits such as Bazmchal, Changizchal, Angemar, Suzchal, Qarehchal, Parvaneh, Qiyaq Laka, Pahtepe and Ab Barik, joins Namrud on the Firuzkuh Road.

The Dobarar range and its peaks have a harsh and difficult winter. Heavy avalanches on its northern and southern faces are very frequent in winter, occur repeatedly, and continue into early spring. In addition, large snow cornices form along the edge of the ridgeline, which makes climbing even harder. Climbing these peaks requires sufficient experience, knowledge of the route, winter equipment and warm clothing. So when climbing, be sure not to forget suitable ice-climbing equipment and boots.
