Description

Dena is a sub-range of Iran’s Zagros Mountains with more than 40 summits above 4,000 m. Its highest point, Qash Mastan, is recorded at 4,409 m in Wikidata; this identity represents the Dena range rather than each individual summit. Its principal rock is Cretaceous limestone. Accounts from Khafr describe an approach through orchards and overnight stops near a mountain shelter before the high ascent. A May trip report highlights cold wind, snow and the consequences of a late descent; these historical experiences do not establish current conditions or permits.

Routes

Puncak Qash Mastan dari sisi Khafr / Semirom

Pendakian tinggi; salju dan kerikil curam

Sekitar 3 hari dalam laporan Juli 2012, termasuk dua malam di gunung

From Khafr, approach through the orchards to the mountain shelter. The Komalia account then crosses the Morgol snow valley and scree to Qash Mastan, returning via the shelter to the village. Duration reflects that team’s trip.

Puncak Qebleh dari Khafr melalui perlindungan utara Dena

Pendakian dengan bagian scrambling dan batu lepas

2 hari dalam laporan Oktober 2013

Spadana’s account approaches Dena’s northern shelter from Khafr through apple orchards and beside a stream. The subsequent Qebleh ascent crosses rocky slopes and a steep gully with scrambling; the writer notes loose handholds. This is a different summit from Qash Mastan.

Climbing Experiences

Six sources combine two firsthand climbing accounts from Khafr, winter documentation of Qash Mastan and three regional-context videos of Dena. The written reports distinguish snowy terrain and overnight scheduling from an ascent that ended with a night descent; all are historical records rather than current condition reports.
