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!

One of the coolest feature in the cave! King line!

8-9 days. 10 redpoint attempts after I unlocked all the moves. A steep 8b+ bouldery section followed by endurance climbing. The lower boulder section really didn't fit me, but I had to persevere over many days despite very wet holds and seepage to find the beta that fit me. Happy it worked out!

First pitch of Zor.

3 tries. What a big tufa journey! It came together faster than expected

Double send with Jon! Yeah

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.

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.

Mega Pumper if you don't use knee bars, i had to borrow some knee pads from my friends cause i don't reckon i could pull the crux without the knee bar rest. Also need to learn how to use more knee bars because I suck at it and the blue mountains mostly has no knee bars. :p Glad to put this one away though. =)

First pitch

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