Kizlar Sivrisi

hike | 2022-09-21

I get up with the sun, drive for a few hours. The last few kilometers are a good gravel road. I drive to the refuge, but I see that a road of similar quality goes further. I drive another kilometer or so and stop at a crossroads. I can see the path marked on the map and decide not to drive in the future on and start climbing.

Slopes are not very steep

A slightly steeper slope at first, followed by a rather large but not steep stony field. I sometimes lose the trail, but it is not very necessary. I just walk towards the ridge I plan to climb to the top. I get to the ridge and see two options. The first option is to follow the map trail, but it is not actually visible. The second option is to follow kind of visible trail, but it is not on the map. I choose the second option.

I’m approaching the meadows towards the steep mountain wall
I can see the road, perhaps a closer approach was possible
I go around the steep wall from the left, towards the sloping ridge

Several hundred vertical metres of steep stony slope. Every now and then a cairn marks the trail, giving me hope that I’m on the right track. It’s steep, with rocks sliding out from underfoot. I think it will be hard to climb down.

Fairly steep stony slope
Clouds are gathering on the other side of the mountain, but it’s clear above me
The last steps to the top of the ridge

The top of the ridge is flat. Easy and comfortable. There is also a marked trail. I reach the false summit at the beginning, and after a few minutes I climb to the highest point

The top of the ridge is flat
False peak
View back
The clouds seem to be leaning against the mountain, not floating any closer

The flag flies at the summit. The clouds never inflated, great views. A few minutes and I’m climbing down on a similar route. This time I try to follow the Gaia map trail, avoiding the steep descent down the rocky slope. It works, although I have to traverse a few hundred metres without a trail, but it’s still more comfortable and easier.

The Turkish flag flies at the top
Views from the top
One more view from the top
Honey is an important product in Turkey (as elsewhere)
On the way back, I observe a small tornado

The second ultra peak of this trip. Great, I’m heading back to the hotel, I’ll still have time to jump in to the sea.
