The last section has rock climbing about II, III UIAA with some 45'. It doesn't seem so hard but the line goes very close to the awesome space of East Wall. If go away from the line you fall into a deep trouble on the tricky limestone slabs.
We've seen some moderate climbers in trouble waiting for help here. Mostly climbers can't realize where they are going. You feel a great space and very hard to climb down.
A guide or someone who knows the route is strongly recommended. Otherwise I just can say;
I think the slabs are not so difficult and there is not a frightening exposition of east wall, so we climbed there. I'm not a good mountain climber (I returned from the half of Direktas - it's a II), but Demirkazik was a funy friction climb without any problem for me.
Actually we need to talk for the general. May be you have turned back from Direktas and I have climbed free solo too many technical routes in Aladaglar.
Even in these conditions I can not say it is so comfy for everyone to climb it. I think descending can be more tricky than climbing that part.

KEEP CLOSE TO THE EAST WALL!
