Ascensiones en Geyikbayırı

Lustiges Kniegeklemme, leicht

with kneepad

Short and cruxy route start from the ground. I’m not sure about grade😉

Two days. First Female Ascent. Ceusienne Berlin style rock after 20 meters of easier tufa approach. Happy that I was able to cram two fingers into some of the tiny pockets. Quite atypical of Geyikbayiri. Good recommendation from Fleur and Mumin!

lol thought I would keep going on the extension after onsighting the first pitch. For some reason I had it in my mind that the extension was 7c+, na 8c. Might pay to look at the guidebook closer next time, I aint Sharma.

Feels hard for the grade, but maybe it's just the slightly hidden holds.

A punpy number

Boulder, my style. 3rd try

jugs in a roof. Every burn I got one move further. Such a dream style. Wish we had more of this stuff at home. Happy not to have peeled off the top.

One of the most fun lines I've tried. Every move is a thug throw. First tried it a year and a half ago, 5 times before rain ended the tries. This season I tried once when I arrived, it felt easy. Didn't try it much again as it rained and got wet. Stuck the jug after the top crux once, only to break the last bit of the ideal foot (now it's gone) sending me flying:'( Today on about the 11th go with shredded shoes I went up to find a lot of the lower holds wet..... But the moves went. So I tried again, wet hands here and there, many wet feet later and a dank rest in the hole, I blasted through. One of the best!

Classic line in Alabalik! The route is quite short and bouldery with 3 defined cruxes with 2 ok'isch kneebar rest in between.

The only reason why it got 3 from 4 stars is the conditions. On sunny days there is just a 1.5h window in the evening to try, and there were a lot of sunny days in winter 2023 That makes it especially difficult to be ready and fit when the wheatear is good.

Was going for the send, blew a pulley in the pocket, got scared on the jugs and bailed... "POP!" 😭

Most fun line in Trebenna sector. After the year so many holds of the line broke, that the character changed completely. It is still cruxy but power endurance in the top is the key.

In my opinion 8c now.

Anri's first 6c! Stoked to belay her on her hardest send yet. When I tried it, I thought it was a solid 6c, relatively short and with hard techy moves, pretty fingery. Vertical to slightly slabby, the route doesn't really provide any good rests, or so felt my petty bouldering arms! Keeps you engaged, fantastic climbing.

Sharp holds, and pretty hard for the grade. Also, there's no anchor. We cleaned it using the first two fixed draws of the final 8b pitch.

God damn this is hard. 3 goes. Felt like I made good progress. Did all the moves. First 8b I've ever laid hands on.

My first 8b and thanks Öztürk Kayıkçı for this line. I love it ❤️
