Kiivetty ylärissä neljä vuotta sitten. Nyt ekalla liidiyrkällä.

3.9.2022 climbed the top part with right arete only. Nice that way, but impossible to protect with trad gear (at least with my skills). Edit 25.9.2022: climbed like Juho (climbed up Potilas to place gear, then climbed down to diagonal crack and finished the route).

First go, but I've climbed both Potilas and The Big Crack previously. Climbed up Potilas to place gear in the diagonal crack. Then back down, traverse right and up the arete.
