Day 13 Antalya

[Writing this] sat on the verandah of the campsite bar. Today's activities: 7 am (after mug of tea), did, repeated 5c+, thence a 5b (a good route much better than it looked)(Fire Starter), at Left Cave, short walk from the campsite. Then breakfast - pancakes - excellent - but could eat more. Nice jam. Did some clothes washing - in bucket bought off George. Hitched down to the market in a pickup with Tia - nice hot breeze. Bought some biscuits etc, nice cherries. Lunch: sat cross-legged on raised platform a la mode. Back at campsite a group of us went climbing up at Magara and thence Sakit: 5c+ 5c 6a+ (cool - a big overhanging route called Nirvana); quick walk to next cave, Sakit: 6a. Really pleased with Nirvna. Very hot walking up to the crag, but now in the shade. By the way, the other day some ex Hot Rock climber asked me this: What grade do you enjoy? I really liked that phrase.
