Climbing Mount Ararat Summit 5137m | Agri Mountain Expedition 2022

Hey Burak, That must have been an incredible adventure, and I would absolutely love to experience something like that myself. If you ever need someone to film an adventure like this again, I would be more than happy to offer my help. Of course, I will bring my own equipment and everything. Best regards, Julius Voss

Hey Burak🙋🏻‍♀️ I wanted to ask you about what kind of sleeping matt you used. Was it your own or did the guide you went with provided it. I’m supposed to climb Mount Ararat next August and my spanish guide said they will provide a foam sleeping pad over there but im wondering if that will be enough to keep me warm or else bring a good winter one from home. Thank you for the cool video👍🏔️

Hello, it is not cold in august. You will only feel a bit cold at 2nd base camp at 4000m. I suppose their sleeping mat will be alright if you have a decent sleeping bag :)

Great video! We are planning to climb Mount Ararat this year and we're very excited! I was wondering if you booked your tour while you were in Doğubeyazıt or if you booked it online? Also, I'm curious to know which month you climbed? Lastly, do you have any tour agencies you would recommend? Thank you in advance!

Hey, thanks for watching the video: - I climbed with a Turkish Climbing Club called YUDOSK. They arranged everything for us. However, there are many private tours online. You can check on google by typing "Agri daği tırmanış turları" - I climbed in late august. The season was great! After September, it gets quite cold. - To be honest, I have no idea about tour operators. Best of luck!

Thank you for this very interesting video. I am planning on climbing Mt. Ararat this year. I am very excited for it. Is there water or do I need to bring the water for the whole time?

[@BurakUnal1]

There is water in the first base camp (3200m). It is not pure clean water, but still ok. I drank it directly and I had no problem. However, I heard that some people got sick for a few days. So, if you have time and heater, you can boil it and drink it to be safe. By the way, what is the meaning of Basti? Is it your name?

@@BurakUnal1 Thank you. Yes, Basti is the short version of my name.

What boots did you use for summit day?

[@BurakUnal1]

Regular timberland winter boots. Nothing special. In summer you can use any boot dont worry

Is it possible to climb solo with your own gear?

[@BurakUnal1]

You can use your own gear. I advise to go to top with a local guide.
