First repeat of Üç Muz in Turkey's Aladaglar massif
Zorbey stated: "It took us 34 hours to get to the grips with this route but it was immensely satisfying, a great adventure and also an immense battle, with bolts so distanced that at times we couldn't even see them. We'd like to thank the first ascentionists for the route and also for the power bars they left us with the summit book!"
Maurizio Oviglia, one of the first ascentionists of Üç Muz, commented: "I am particularly happy that the first repeat of Turkey's first big mountain sport climb put up by us Italians was carried out by two Turks. This means that these guys have understood the spirit with which we established our routes, have accepted the challenge and succeeded and are now able to do even better still. The mountains must unite, not divide, and today I'm happy for Zorbey and Evren as I relive those magical days of our first ascent and first free ascent."
