Turkish Bride 

This is an excellent and sustained all natural route. It was me and Jake's last route together in Sedona before I went to Turkey and got married and Jake moved out of town. The route climbs beautiful clean crack systems connected by airy traverses, with some grunting on the first pitch to warm you up.

I don't think the route is R-rated overall. There is a 5.6 R step across on the first pitch, and the limestone traverse is spooky but it's easy and I'm pretty sure it would protect if you took the time to find the gear.

From the summit you can now rap off with 1 rope down the Windows Route.

Don't let the R rating given on this site scare you off. The only part that could be considered "R" is an unprotected 5.6 move at the beginning of the first pitch. The second pitch is spicy but it's 5.9 jugs so just punch it to the ledge. If you really wanted to protect it you could probably get some nuts in the limestone. We should have called the last pitch 10+. The moves up into the OW are sandbagged at 5.10 but they protect fine. This route is just as good if not better than The Window Route.

The first 2 pitches are so-so, but the last 2 pitches are superb.

Çok güzel!!

Merhaba Afendi.

Bu rotaya Turk Gelini taktik cunku rotayi actiktan iki uc hafta sonra bir Turk kadinla evlendim. Guzel bir rota, guzel bir kadin icin. Belki bir gun kizimiz da tirmanacak onu, ama elleri cok kucuk 3.5 numarali bir catlak icin.

Niye 'R' taktilar yeni kitabinda acaba? Olsun. Bu rota 'Windows Route' gibi orozpu olmasin.
