Description

This cliff faces south east and is best for cold days (with north wind) or late afternoon during hot days. Short and powerful, this is Datca's boulder gym , right section is perfect for beginners.

Approach

From Datça drive in direction of Knidos. From the turn off to Knidos (straight to the ferry) drive for about 6.5km until, after some sharper turns, you see a dirt road going down left. Take this dirt road and drive about 800m to a sharp turn right with a parking on the left (lots of boxes for bees). Park there (36.717007, 21.7597696).

Follow the right edge of the parking (looks more like a garbage dump) to find the path heading down to the cliff. It is not well marked but you should see some cairns.

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!
