climbing guidebook Manisa
The Manisa Climbing Guide presents, besides the Sarikaya climbing area, two other small spots - Spil and Yarikkaya. The areas are all located northeast of Izmir (Turkish Aegean coast) and were dormant for a long time until they were discovered.
Sarikaya, the biggest and most famous area of the area is waiting with 168 sport climbing routes and some trad routes at 650 m above sea level. The wall height varies between 10 and 50 meters. There are some 7c's on 47 meters! Otherwise the difficulties are between 5 and 8b+ and from about 14.00 you climb in the shade.
The limestone conglomerate rock is good to climb and is almost virgin.
The climbing guide is modern and shows the routes on good color photos. Information on how to get there, on accommodations, on equipment, on the slope of the rock, on child-friendliness and much more is given as pictograms or as text. And all this in Turkish or English.
