One of the cliffs for hotter days. It faces north and is vertical, slightly overhanging and technical on really good quality rock.
Yenikale is located on the "back-side" of Indian Man. From Datça follow the road as for Indian Man but instead of turning left on the dirt road, continue on the main road in direction of Knidos. Just before the road starts climbing with a crash barrier on the right, take a left on a dirt road an park there on an abandoned stretch of road on the right (36.73165, 27.61587) (this road actually also leads to Indian Man).
From there hike up the main road until you see the yellowish section of the cliff above you. Continue for a bit more to see the actual trail starting up, passing right by a big block and leading to the cliff.
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!
