Hieno ja herkkä!

Fun and varied

Used the left arete since it's right there where you climb. I don't think eliminating holds so close to the line is a good idea.

Helpottui kun vaihtoi betan oikeaan.

Ylärillä ensin

Kiva reitti mutta aktivoi mun hyllytraumat

One pre-clip

Aika timakka mutta niin hieno! 3. sessio, onneksi en jäänyt päivän sendijunasta.

Started in 2015, and finally this year I put enough effort into it to put it in the bag. Great route!

2nd lead go (fell 1 m before anchor on first go)

Multi-coloured rock which makes seeing the small holds really hard to spot (therefore no on-sight)

1st go on lead

2nd go

2nd go. Placed a long draw on the last bolt.

Slipped at first bolt

Thought it was on-sight, but apparently I had top roped this 7 years ago

Took a few sessions, maybe four?

3rd go

Reachy for shorter climbers. Anchor should have been placed at third to last bolt, because above it is a huge ledge that you will definitely fall on top of after that, and also at that point your belayer can't even see you. Dangerous.

2nd go

Pretty stiff crimps and slopers for 6a+...

Finally! Climbed nearly all the way on the left side of the bolts

1st go on lead

Climbed Samurai first

First go, but climbed Veripalvelu before. World's slowest almost flash.

First go, but I've climbed the El Perro start before

2nd go

2nd go

2nd attempt on 2nd day

2nd go

Brilliant!

1 piissi

Pari yrkkää

Ekalla meni, mutta olin kiivennyt naapurireitin aiemmin missä sama loppu

2nd go

First lead today (a few top-ropes and lead attempts in the past few years)

Tried once on top-rope, then sent

Kiivetty vuosi-pari sitten puoliköydellä ylärillä kun sporttiköysi jäi kotiin...

1 pre-clip

2nd go, screwed up the on-sight by climbing myself into a pickle

First sport since my injury

Vaarallinen, etenkin kun isoin camu oli kolmonen.. Never again, kiitos!

Route was soaking wet, but lovely

Nice even when wet

Beautiful and steady, 6 pitches of 4+

Crimpy and sustained. A nice one! My first "proper" 7? 3rd try on lead (+1 TR)

Didn't enjoy this one

Felt soft

Slight doubt about whether I climbed Saque Mate? 6C I almost climbed the day before and the 6C I on-sighted the next day felt easier than this one.

Nice but no stars because of poor bolting

Slippery crag

Lyhyt mutta tuju! Pari liidiyrkkää ja vähän ylishiomista ennen kun meni. Tuli hyvä mieli :-)

Climbed in 15 pitches

Climbed the 6a version, meaning climbed second-to-last pitch (5b) without touching gear.

Kiva vitonen!

Seconded this last year

3rd go, slipped early on 2nd

Kiipesin väärän halkeaman puolen välin jälkeen, sen joka johtaa suoraan puulle. Ihan kiva niinkin, ankkuri tosin jää vähän sivuun :-)

Led pitch 1, started to lead pitch 3 but slipped at 2nd bolt and ended up going back to the belay station and seconding the rest of the pitches. Climbed with Kalle+Iiro. Mentally draining, especially the first 3 slab pitches - but beautiful! 6 hours to the top.

Tried on TR once, sent 1st lead attempt. Soft&short but nice!

1 pre-clip. Kicked off one of the possible starting footholds. Beauty!

Nice tufa!

4th try on lead. Not harder than Nakupetteri for someone my height.

1st go this session, maybe 7th in total

2nd go

2nd try

3rd try on a wet day. Interesting crux.

Asked for gear placement advice before climbing so basically threw the on-sight...

3rd try, 2nd of the day

2nd go

Best 6a in Southern Finland

3rd try on lead. Slightly easier than Smooth Operator.

3rd try on lead, without pre-clip

Not clean but we made it all the way up the 225 metres. Really tight for the grade, easy to get lost.

Led pitchs 2 and 4. Climbed Nitti to start with.

Led the second pitch

Fell from the second to last bolt on lead. To do.

Led pitches 1 and 3. First multi-pitch <3

Multi-pitch training

Fell on 1st go

My first official trad route <3

Flashed first part (5c) and on-sighted the final 12 m (6a) of this 39 m beast.

To first lower-off (5c)

To first lower-off (6a)

Only to first anchor (5b).

Varied and exciting. Not soft by any means.

Mun eka ulkoliidi <3
