In March 2012 Sergei Shaferov did first ascents of several routes in non-popular Turkey area Okuzini. Most difficult of these routes is 8c/c+ "All inclusive".
After February lots of difficult routes in Geyikbari were wet because of long rains. That's why it was necessary to check new areas, particulary in Okuzini.

A couple of words about Okuzini:
Okuzini. Photo by Vitalyi KrivosheinOkuzini is a gorge near Geyikbairi. Lots of climbers were attracted by big grot over there. It's not that much routes over there for the present, only couples of easy ones (5c-6a), basically 7b, but lots of projects for future.

You should walk around 1 hour to reach this area, which is a very good warming-up before climbing.
A wonderful view with valleys and heels opens up from the rocks.
Okuzini will hardly be a very popular and crowded area even in high season because of long distance to reach it and difficult routs (7b mostly).

UPDATE the information from 20/04/2012

After agreeing with the author Jürgen Bormann names routing area changes, which can be viewed in the latest version of the guidebook to the area Okuzini: http://www.whitespirit.de/
