Destination
Kaçkar Dağı
While the great ice route on its northern face requires completely technical equipment and knowledge, the route continuing over the eastern ridge, if climbed in summer conditions, is a long summit walk stage with occasional short grade 3 rock passages and requires basic safety equipment. In winter conditions, however, it turns into a difficult and dangerous climb.
