LSWest summit  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2009

The second lift was closed so I had to start the hike from 2450 meters elevation. Easy along the eastridge, then passing Camel Hump Rock on the right side (soft snow). Reached the East Summit after almost 4 hours. Then continuing to the true summit (West Summit) where I met 2 Turkish guys. One of them belayed me to the top! A very exposed pitch in loose rocks (grade III/IV)

The summitlog on the West Peak, had not seen any summits since 12 months. Thus a rarely climbed peak, because of the difficult last 15 meters...

samanUntil the first snow

I was there with a girl in July, 1998. We were hitch-hiking around in Turkey and I wanted to climb this mountain. Unfortunately we didn't bring enough water, so after reaching the first snowpatch (I estimaed our height to 3000m), we had a snowfight and turned back.

starybaranUnder a big rock turned back
Start from the pass. Till that big rock everthing ok. I've tried to climb over. The view from rock discouraged me and i decided to return. Few hundreds meter later i've meet two men from Kayseri. One of them showed me the proper way, which went around the rock from the lower side. I would never consider that as a path. Some other time...

an ice-mud fall stopped my ambitions

Thomas GurviezRoute Climbed: north face direct Date Climbed: 10 july 2004

very nice ascent with a fantastic view on the top, great ambiance !



I couldn' climb the last 20 meters because I finished alone, my partner had sopped at around 3500 meters because of the falling rocks and the very hard snow. I didn't trust the old rope installed on the top....



If I had only one advise to tell, it would be : bring a helmet ! We would have paid much to have one...



The slopes must be very pleasant with skis, I've to come back during winter !

whitesherpaRoute Climbed: Normal route from the skiing resort (east) Date Climbed: 4september2002  Sucess!
Excellent trip with a previous attempt by the north face.

There are many rocks falling on this route, especially end of summer.

The normal route, starting at the skiing resort follow a long ridge ; a very easy way brings you to the summit where there is a sign-in book.

By any route, you better wear a helmet.

Pictures to be scanned soon
