A small crag with some nicely bolted routes. The crag is still being developed and there are not many anchors. Cleaning the routes is problematic.
Covered in shade from midday onwards. The crag is not well developed and most routes do not have an anchor. Do yourself a favour and bring a bailout biner. Better yet, bring some equipment and bolt in new anchors.
Unsealed road but easily accessible on any sedan. Does NOT require 4wd access.
A short 30-45min drive from Urmia CBD. The last 1km is on unsealed road but easily accessible on any vehicle. From Urmia, head south towards the town of "Balanej". Head on Mehabad road towards "Bozorg Abad". Take the first right hand turn and continue on the road for another km. You'll see the crag. Park next to it and walk up.
The crag is close to Urmia. Stay there.
There are birds nesting in the cave. Be very mindful of their nest and their chicks. Do not light fire in the cave as the smoke impacts the wildlife.
