Search teams have recovered the body of a female climber who attempted to summit Mount Damavand alone, Iranian Red Crescent officials announced on Tuesday.
Tahereh Haseli’s body was found at approximately 4,600 meters on the mountain’s southern side, according to Gholam Ali Fakhari Ashrafi, director of the Mazandaran Red Crescent Society.
Red Crescent teams received a missing person report at 2:35 p.m. on Sunday from the Polour mountaineering base camp.
Specialized mountain rescue teams from the Rineh base and Amol branch deployed ground crews and aerial equipment, including drones, to search multiple routes.
Mohammad Hossein Kabadi, deputy director of rescue operations for the Iranian Red Crescent, said Haseli had stopped behind one of the shelters on the southern face and left her personal belongings there, but never descended.
