Description

This is the wall facing Can Baba. This big pinnacle has only 2 multipitch routes yet but waiting for more, trad, mixed or fully bolted. "Match lunules" is already the big classic in Datca.

Approach

Drive in and park as for Can Baba or continue for about 200m more and park on the right near the water source.

"Match Lunules" starts directly right of the water source, right behind a bigger tree you will find the first bolt.

"Mekanim Datça Olsun" starts a bit left of the water source.

Ethic inherited from Datça

You are in a mediterranean environment with sometimes strong winds and dry forrests. It is absolutely forbidden to make fires or camp in the nature. Any wrong doing might result in closing of this beautiful climbing spot!

New bolting should only be done using stainless steel glue-in bolts!
