Why it enters the Top 100
What makes this climb different?
The route named Demir Yol climbs the cliffs of Kemaliye via 517 metal steps to a platform installed approximately 600 metres above the valley. This platform is used for wingsuit jumps at the Kemaliye International Festival; the ferrata therefore constitutes the approach to a truly documented sporting scene, not an invented setting. The organizer announces a guided adventure of at least six hours with return via the ancient Eğin passage; availability, weather and programme must be confirmed before travel.
