This comprehensive guide covers walking, trekking and climbing in the Turkish mountains of the Ala Dag, describing routes in the Cimbar and Kayacik valleys, the Yedi Goel, the Emli and Siyirma valleys, and the Kokorot and Kara Goel valleys.

The Turkish mountains of the Ala Dag consist of five main valley systems, each narrow and steep-sided with numerous hanging valleys. All offer stunning walks and exciting climbs, described here in detail for the first time for English-speaking walkers and climbers.

The guide is divided into four sections, each with a comprehensive introduction, plus complete notes on access to the regions, geology and history. Although easily accessible, the Ala Dag still retains an expeditionary feel, making it an increasingly popular destination for mountaineers seeking adventure in Turkey's spectacular crimson mountains.
