She made the first female ascent of the north face of Mount Büyük Demirkazık (3,756 m) in Turkey in 1995.
She became one of the first Turkish women to climb over 8,000 m when she summited Gasherbrum II (8,035 m), the 13th highest peak of the world, via west face along with Eylem Elif Maviş, on July 22, 2005.
Burçak took part in the Petrol Ofisi-sponsored Turkish expedition team to Mount Everest in 2006.
However, due to throat complaints at 8,600 m, she had to give up the ascent on May 15 and return to advanced base camp for medical aid.
Burçak is married to mountaineer Serhan Poçan, who had climbed Mount Everest on the same day as her.
