Description
Uzundere is a small town in the province of Erzurum surrounded by beautiful rock faces and waterfalls. Most of this is undeveloped to my knowledge, but tirmanis.org would be the place to go for the best info (the website is only in Turkish).
A few waterfalls have recently been developed for ice climbing, and I am working on compiling information for them. I've there are 40+ prospective waterfalls in the area and plans for more development next winter.
There are also plans to develop rock routes in the Uzundere area this April-June, so hopefully there will be more information to come! If you have questions, contact Aykut from tirmanis.org; he speaks great English.
If you're looking for guides, contact Epik Encounter. They're an excellent Canadian company who hires Turkish guides and transportation. They live in Erzurum and are familiar with the language and culture. They'll figure it out for you! epikencounter.com
