Büdü is a short yet enjoyable route that starts up a moderate and less than vertical face. Stay left of a small tree growing underneath a roof 5 meters off the ground. Follow the bolts up a very featured face and enjoy bigger holds as the wall kicks back to a slight overhang at the anchor.

Location Büdü is located 28 meters right of the prominent inside corner crack that marks the beginning of the sector. (This is also the right most route at this sector.)

Kılçıksız is the longest trad. route in this sector. It has good hands and cracks at the first half and the second half is dirty to some extend.

Godesbana is a enjoyable 20 meter route that climbs a moderate angled face with nice holds and a handful of slopers. Start with a short vertical section of rock and continue past three bulges to reach an anchor at the base of the vertical face.

Location Godesbana is located in the middle of the sector. This climb starts directly above a medium sized pine tree at the base of the cliff and on the uphill side of the trail.

Protection 10 bolts, 2 bolt anchor

Yomra is an enjoyable moderate route that starts with a couple meters of steep climbing on large holds. Through the middle portion of the route you will find nice slab movement before getting back into the steep jugs. Finish at an anchor located on the right side of a over hanging bulge.

Location Yomra is located in the middle of the sector. This climb starts 3 meters right of a medium sized pine tree at the base of the cliff and on the uphill side of the trail.

Protection 9 bolts, 2 bolt anchor

Edi is a short yet surprisingly enjoyable moderate route on very positive holds. Climb up solid gray rock that gets progressively steeper as the holds get progressively larger. Enjoy a couple hero moves on giant jugs to clip the anchor at the lip of a small overhang.
