Description

The south face of the Emecik mountain is full of rock. The characteristics of this rock are: well protected from north wind, it is a warm sector for winter and firestones are integrated into the lime stone (chert). There is a huge potential for new routes.

Approach

From Datça drive in direction of Marmaris. About 8.5km after the left turn off for Kızlan (traffic light) take a small dirt road on your left (way before the village of Emecik). Follow this dirt road for about 1.7km and park there at a small junction (36.777396, 27.789877).

From there hike in to the right and follow the trails, not going too far right and staying left of the creek. At one moment you might loose the trail, continue through the bush until you reach open space again and climb up a bit steeper towards the left section of cliffs. Follow a small gravel / block field to reach the cliff.

Looking up, the routes are on the second wall, the one with the big left facing corner. Two routes are on the far left of the corner and two more a bit closer to the corner.

Ethic inherited from Datça

You are in a mediterranean environment with sometimes strong winds and dry forrests. It is absolutely forbidden to make fires or camp in the nature. Any wrong doing might result in closing of this beautiful climbing spot!

New bolting should only be done using stainless steel glue-in bolts!
