Turkey

Karakaya is a very beautiful climbing are in the middle of turkey. It’s almost magical, that in this wide steppe, there is an accumulation of crags reaching steep out of the landscape. The granite rock with cracks and wild slopery forms offer a unique climbing experience. Just next to that lays an old pain grove spending shadow on sunny days.  The formation of the rocks looks very fascinating  and also the surroundings is something one sees not often in central Europe. The climbing here has been developed just in 2010 and is thus very new. On the weekend there are often some local climbers or climbing courses with whom one can get a bit in touch. It’s not the best climbing area for beginners, as most routes are around 6c-7a and half of them has to be protected by oneself. There are also a few short  multipitches with 2 or 3 pitches, but most of the area is sport and tradclimbing. Really cool is, that under the pine trees there is a free camping spot.
