Route
Over six days in April 2015 the Iranian climbers Hassan Gerami, Hamid Reza Shafaghi and Farshad Mijoji forged The Change Experience up the Ecole Tower.
The 11 pitch, circa 440m high route was climbed ground-up. While pitches 1, 10 and 11 were climbed free, the trio resorted to aid climbing to forge all the other pitches.
After reaching the summit the Iranians rested for a day and then spent a further hree days attempting to free the remaining pitches. While they successfully redpointed up to 8b, two pitches require A2 aid and will no doubt prove an interesting test in the future.
