Biography
Yeganeh started climbing at age 12 (1993). He lived in the mountains that surround Tehran and he would accompany his father and his friends on climbs. The first time he went to Band-e Yakhchal to mountain climb, he climbed a 5.10c route on-sight on Chakme. His interest in the sport, advice available to him and his abilities enabled him to successfully pass many climbing courses. This experience and judgment was a key factor to be a good teacher and coach in climbing. His competition performance resulted in him being awarded many medals in this sport.
Yeganeh was elected as one of the five members among sport climbing experts over Tehran province to make Tehran climbing league’s statute. [5][6][7] Then, he participated as a first Iranian Alpine Club’s representative in bouldering world cup of 2009 in France.[8][9] As he truly is well known for lead climbing, he also solo climbed two routes.[10] Currently, Artimes and Amin Abbasi are the only Iranian official route setters.[11]
