The Taurus Mountains offer climbing enthusiasts a variety of activities, from rock climbing and trekking to cave exploration and canyoning, under the auspices of the Turkish Mountaineering Federation and the Youth and Sports Ministry, according to Hasan Altuntaş, the head of the Taurus Nature Sports Club (TODOKS).

After taking all necessary safety measures under the supervision of knowledgeable trainers within the scope of such activities, both foreign and local climbing enthusiasts savor an exceptional scenic splendor at the summit of the Taurus Mountains.

Climbers from all over the world visit the camps at the Taurus Mountains particularly after September, when the weather cools off, according to Altuntaş, who also mentioned that skilled climbers may be found in the area for a full year.

Noting that rock climbing is an extremely safe sport as long as safety precautions are followed, Altuntaş mentioned that athletes as young as 7 years old and as old as 86 years old participate in this sport at the mountains.
