Route

The route ascends beautiful limestone, smooth and grey on the lower section, then reddish and very rough indeed. Mainly technical climbing with one pumpy crux pitch.

Getting there

Cimbar Vadisi is a beautiful and fascinating Y-shaped canyon, full of interesting rock faces and located at the foot of Demirkazik, the highest mountain in the Ala Daglar massif.

Access

From the village of Demirkazik reach the Demirkazik hut, drive past this and after 300m reach the valley entrance. Park the car here. Walk into the spectacular canyon until this forks. Take the left fork that leads to Tekepinari and, after a steep section and just before the valley narrows, reach the base of the route, on the left close to an obvious cave. Cairn marker at the base of the route (45 minutes).

Descent

Abseil down the route.

Gear

Stainless steel 10mm bolts, needs backing up with camming devices up to #3 Camalot. Micro friends highly recommended. Two 60m ropes and 12 quickdraws.
