Ay means moon in Turkish. This sector offers perfect vertical rock full of minipockets, sometimes sharp, great technical climbing with a very short approach. The sector is in the sun almost all day but the base is shaded by trees.
Approach
Gentle
5-10 min
You have 2 choices to approach this cliff. If you are already up at the cave follow the trail down along the cliff passing at sector Ejderha and leading further down. It is relatively well marked. Eventually it will lead you to Sektor Ay.
If you just want to climb at Sektor Ay, you may as well park as for Can Baba. Then enter the wash and hike downstream for about 50m until you find a well marked trail going up left and leading you to the sector.
