Well I'm a freak! I wanted to see if anyone asks about that... when I first saw that I was surprised ooW what is it? a spring? the stream was so big I couldn't get close to see what was going on, but I saw two giant pipes around transporting water from the upper parts of the mountain springs to Routeh village, I think this is a leakage of the pipes.
well Iranian climbers are two: most are hikers and they will choose the higher mountains with easy hiking routes.
others are technical rock climbers that choose famous and known walls, so this sort of places usually remain forgotten and virgin and if some1 has tried them it's not usually registered, I see a lot of this mountains in Iran that seem virgin. by the way this west towers are located by the Shemshak road at the most narrow part, even taking pictures from them is hard.
I climbed Abak by random, at the entrance of Routeh village there is a sign like this: "Welcome to Routeh the lost paradise..." we entered it and climbed...
I'm not proud of the pictures, my friend took them. now I see he hasn't a good taste taking mountain shots, even the Sarakchal picture I added here is not enough zoomed, the Lavasan mountain pictures are all craps... and nothing good from the east towers !
