Übersicht
Easy access. Hundreds of routes. Limestone. 300 days of sun and shaded areas all day.
Beschreibung
Geyikbayırı offers a full range of routes ranging from the easy (5a) to the difficult (9a) in one of the most pristine and scenic areas of Turkey.
The official guidebook by Öztürk Kayıkcı can be bought at the camps in Geyikbayırı.
Einschränkungen
Access is easy, by car or minibus, via a single paved road. Depending on where you stay furthest access is about a 30 minute walk.
Zustieg
Geyikbayırı is just 40km from the airport in Antalya. If you are coming from abroad it is best to fly into Antalya and take a taxi to your accommodation or rent a car.
All approaches are free access as it is all part of a national park with no rigid rules and no supervision.
Übernachtung
There is heaps of places to stay in Geyikbayırı. Most people will stay at Josito for the Social vibes and also the ease of finding climbing partners as well and they do a really good decent Pizza Night. There is also Flying Goat Hostel which is just opposite Sarkıt crag. This two camps/Hostel supports the local development and bolting so most people will stay here but regardless there is heaps of cheap options and if you are planning to stay long term you can always discuss the price of monthly rental with the owners/manager.
Another option of course is to stay in town near Konyalti and rent a car as it works out to be the same if you are renting a bungalow at the camps.
Here's a full list of the climbing camps in the valley:
Ethik
There are no restrictions aside from respecting the environment as the local government has been very tolerant and we don't want that to change. All bolting is stainless steel and not more than 10 years old. Between 20 to 30 new routes are opened every year and visitors are welcome to contribute to that with local advice.
Geschichte
This area was discovered in 1995 by one of Turkey's top climbers. It has since grown very fast and is widely considered to be one of the best areas in the world for all levels and ages.
1.1.1. Moon 20 routes in Sector
- Summary:
-
Lat / Long: 36.888781, 30.470501
Zustieg
The location is a short 15 walk up the paved road from Flying Goat Camp. At the junction to the big entrance sign saying –Welcome Geyikbayiri– stay on the right paved road and walk uphill for another 10 minutes. Here you must turn right after the squiggly road sign onto an obvious dirt road (36.883254, 30.468889).
Follow the dirt road eastwards and walk past goat pens and plastic shepherd huts (be friendly and respectful). Then you will come to a flat open field. Walk (5 minutes) and follow red markers to Moon via a faint path leading down the hill and left towards the crag. Do not follow the orange paint going left from the field, it is from the Shepherds and will get you lost.

Beschreibung
Mağara (Turkish for "cave") is the big cave just above Flying Goat Camp. The first routes in Geyikbayırı were bolted here. The sector is south-facing, but routes in the cave get some shade during the day. Most of the climbing is steep and athletic on tufas and highly featured, though sometimes already quite polished rock.
Zustieg

The trail branches into several small trails, all leading up to sectors 'Sarkıt', 'Mağara' and 'Anatolia'. Take the ones leading straight towards the big cave in front of you (2-3 min).

Brand new sector (2021/22), just right of 'Echoes' and 'Koridor'[3189478311]. Great variety of styles, angles and grades. Some routes are still quite sharp and need more traffic, but the rock quality is very good and the bolting very encouraging.
Although south-facing, the belay area and the lower parts of many routes are sheltered by rocks and trees, such that climbing is possible even on sunnier days.

Super short access from JoSiTo campsite, head down and across the river.
Abstieg
Most route lengths have been greatly overestimated in the guidebook (some "40m" routes are <30m). Some have been amended on theCrag, but as a general rule, you can do almost all routes on a 70m rope (hint: tie a knot in the end). The exception to this are the ones marked as over 40m.
Almost all of the longer routes have midway anchors, so even on a 60m rope you can do nearly everything here if you're willing to put in the extra effort.

From the bridge in Cirali follow the road away from the seaside until there are no more houses/shops on your right side. Go right towards the river and cross the riverbed. This brings you to the area. (Formerly, the forested area was just past Kirbali, but as of Feb 23, that is fenced off.) Alternatively, you may have to scramble over the south side of the bridge, and walk upstream to the crag, crossing the stream whenever you can.

Long Intimidating Tufa Lines with some of the best sport climbs this region has to offer.
Beschreibung
At the moment at the Çitdibi rocks are 88 routes (102 pitches, including extensions) in the grades 5c-9? , most of the routes you can find in the grades 7a to 8b. The routes are all modern and safe equipped with glue-in bolts. The crags of Çitdibi offer very various styles of climbing.
In the right side Canyon sector you can find spectacular tufa lines on rock with blue and orange stripes. The crag is in this part 140m high, what makes this sector also attractive for fans of hard multi pitch routes. Some of the routes here are very long (up to 55m! single pitch). To climb in this sector, it's best you come with an 80m or 100m rope. With a 70m rope you can rappel on intermedia belays or lower of to the opposite of the canyon. The grades in this sector are between 6c+ and 9a?.
At the opposite side of this sector you can find the left side Canyon sector with easier routes ( 5c -7b+). The rock here is not so colourful as at the opposite side, but some of the routes offer still nice climbing on mostly crimps and crags. After the early spring time, when a lot of water drops from the opposite wall on this sector this crag can be a little dirty, before the first climbers brushed it.
The sector Magara [cave] showes up with steep athletic climbs on mostly big stuff, the sector hosts some of the best routes of Çitdibi. The place and surrounding of this place is specially nice and even perfect for families. Some extensions, that are worth to do, are up to 55m long - so bring a long rope with you. Grades between 7a+ and 8b+
Einschränkungen

The main development of the crag had to wait untill the year 2013 when the bolting team of Petzl opened a lot of new routes for the Petzl Rocktrip 2014.
