On the 3rd attempt of the day.

On the 4th attempt of the day.

On the 3rd attempt of the day (Previous sessions: 2, 2025: 29 November x3, 5 December x4 (2 from mid-section, 2 full, in the first, messed up the beta for the last crimp before the top-out))

If you start with the unders that are slightly on the left, it may add a "+" to the originally offered "6a".

On the 3rd attempt

On the 2nd attempt

On the 3rd attempt of the day (Previous Sessions: 1, 2025: 22 November x4, got close but gassed out for the mid-section at the end of the day)

On the second attempt of the day. (Güverteyi birlikte parlattığımız Nihat'a teşekkürler!)

A long way from here to Pequod, but why not? (Repeats: 2, 2025: 22 November, 12 December)

On the 4th attempt of the day (in the memory of the tree branch on the left, which struck me in the eye so badly)

Shaky and tired from yesterday. Must top out better.

On the 3rd attempt of the day, but using the right hand crack on top out. Learning from the man himself (first ascensionist Fikret) that that was not the intended finish, I repeated it again by staying on the left hand side the entire time. (Repats: 2, 2025: 15 November)

On the 2nd attempt of the day (Previous Sessions: 2, 2024: 17 March x3, 8 September x2), I messed up the top out again like I did on the "right" variation, but still managed to finalize it. Could not do it gracefully :)

On the 3rd attempt of the day. I chose the slightly easier exit on the right of the top needle for this solo mission and will return to it someday.

On the 5th attempt of the day

On the 3rd attempt of the day

A nice addition to this superb boulder!

first ascent with Erkin

On the 3rd attempt of the day from the "left" variant. (Repeats: 1, 2025: on the 3rd attempt, 27 April using the "right" variant, as in Emre-Erkin's original line) NOTE: The current topo drawing by Erkin appears to reflect the "left" variant more closely.

(Repeats: 2: 2025: 18 April)

On the 2nd attempt of the day.

On the first attempt of the day. However, I got very close to the crack which may not be the originally climbed version of the route. Previous Sessions: 2024: 17 March x2.

On the 2nd attempt of the day (back to back due to a false start)

On the 2nd attempt. But rather for the discovery of initiation. (Repeats: 2, 2025: 1 February x2)

On the 4th attempt of the day. I toyed with the idea of a route from the left rib for about 3 attempts before opting for the regular.

On the second attempt of the day. It was certainly a surprise at the top-out!

The experience could be improved by cleaning some of the alternative top-out holds, which might bring the difficulty down a notch...

On the 6th attempt of the day. Not entirely sure the grade is as low as the turbo-charged climbers of Anatolia suggest - though, to be fair, they do make anything look suspiciously easy.

On the 6th attempt of the day.

On the 2nd attempt of the day.

difficult to avoid the tree :) On the 2nd attempt of the day (Previous Sessions: 1, 2024: 17 March x2, 20 November x1)

On the 4th attempt of the day

I should do the crack section again more smoothly

On the 2nd attempt of the day, but I should do it again for a smoother ride...

On the 3rd attempt of the day

On the 6th attempt of the day (after a total of 5 previous sessions for the stand and sit). Not so sure, but can be the 2nd ascent after Erkin (Çakmak)

(Repeats: 3, 2024: 17 March, 26 March, 5 April)

Route photo needs to be renewed. This is an excerpt from the video! Repeated the route 3 times on this day.

On the 3rd attempt of the day. (Previous Sessions: 4, 2022: 14 July x3, 2023: 9 September x5, 29 September x7, 6 October x8)

The not so attractive stand version of the originally intended sit start. On the 3rd attempt of the day.

On the second attempt of the day.

The lower crimp start is still a challenge

To be continued—jacket on, feet only!
