Ascents in Turkey by Daniel

Once more, now including the 6c extension.

Whoop! Got some beta beforehand, and the draws were already in. The route is a bit defined, but climbing the crux straight up is supposedly way harder than 7a (I'd agree), so I went a little bit to the left (still in bolt range), which to me felt appropriate for the grade.

Awesome, juggy tour through the roof. I was quite exhausted afterwards, but it's probably much easier the second time.

Weird and tricky, seems hard for the grade. I'm glad I didn't do this for warming up.

Man, that was hard! Cool route, though.

So weird. Couldn't get past the second bolt.

I struggled a lot with this supposedly easy first pitch. It's just about putting your feet up after all, but still...

There are several extensions here. I did the 6c+ one, with the draws being already in.

Actually an Alzheimer's onsight. It's tricky for the grade.

Was a bit too exhausted; should try again.

Nice #repeat

Interesting route on the outside face of the cave (hanging belay).

There were quickdraws in, so I gave it shot. Couldn't do the move after the fourth bolt.

This is the traverse going across the overhanging mid-section of the sector. Gets harder and harder towards the end, so I had to rest at one particularly reachy move.

The crux itself is pretty hard, but the challenge for me here is having the endurance to put it all together. That aside, I can totally do all the moves. The vertical part in the beginning is technical and hard to read but if I just do it right, it should be fine. For moving out of the overhang, I'll have to reach really far and trust that the bad hold is enough. After that, it's a confusing zic-zag, but not that hard, except for the rope drag... so put long draws everywhere, and a ~50cm one at the crux.

This attempt went much better than before. I'm really optimistic now! The lower part went smoothly, but still more exhausting than it should be. I first rested in the middle of the roof, and once more right before the crux move.

This time, I also extended the fixed draw, which helped a lot to reduce drag. Using my panic draw to clip the crux seems to be the best way to go.

It was getting dark and I just put the draws in the first half for another go tomorrow

Came to the overhang and discovered that an entire hold is covered by a swallow's nest and you basically cannot climb the route like this anymore :-(

I was too exhausted to even try the second pitch, but it looks nice!

The entry is a bit hidden and it doesn't seem to be climbed much, but it's really nice.

Had to find the very hidden holds first, but then it turned out quite easy... I simply did some reachy moves, skipping all the bad hold.

Could be longer...

mantra wanted to put in the draws for me and fell like seven times trying to figure it out I still went in, and with his help found a solution that works for me. The crimps were so painful though that I didn't want to go again.
