Alam Kooh (Elevation: 15912 ft /
4850 m), located in Iran's Mazandaran province, is the second highest peak in
Iran. (Damavand(5671m)
is the first and
Sabalan(4811m) is the third).
Alam Kooh is sometimes been
written as : "Alamkouh", "Alamkoh", "Alamkuh", "Alamkooh" or
"Alam
kouh".
Alam means some sort of object
standing straight like a flag and Kooh means mountain.
The north face (a little toward
north-west) is actually a giant vertical wall. This wall and impression of
climbing it, is what makes Alamkooh famous and demanded for Iranian
climbers, these are some correct details about the wall.
