Zor 8c by Solveig Korherr
Solveig comments on her scorecard: "8-9 days. 10 redpoint attempts after I unlocked all the moves. A steep 8b+ bouldery section followed by endurance climbing. The lower boulder section really didn't fit me, but I had to persevere over many days despite very wet holds and seepage to find the beta that fit me. Happy it worked out! :)"
What about Covid-19 restrictions in Turkey?
I am very grateful to be here climbing and travelling in Turkey, where there are no official restrictions on tourist visitors. We are, however, being respectful and are generally isolating ourselves in our apartment. Datça is quite off the beaten path as a climbing destination. It has been very quiet here with just a handful of climbers in the area.
