Henrikki Matilainen

Felt hard ’cause it was sustained for a pebblehugger. Nearly died from fatique like five times.

Tough start to easier, but rattly vuxenklätring.

Nice moves and line, not stellar rock

Failed on the onsight due to dirty topout funnel. Rapped down and gave it a proper cleaning. Climbed nicely post cleaning.

First RP, knew the top part from Koski-Jyrkynen so would have been RP in anycase. Checked the gear on TR and lead straight After.

First RP, but had toproped earlier. Nice bouldery line. Basically two blocks with a reasonable rest in between and easier climbing to the anchor.

Great day out with Jussi N. Led all the pitches except the last one (Jussi did a N6 variation on it). Most pitches were wet or damp, making the climbing feel a tad harder.

Cruddy and not so nice start.

As I bouldered the start during the Grand Re-Opening (as I punter, I forgot my harness)

Nice rope solo

Bouldered to the ledge, clipped into the leadrope and grigri, before rope soloing to the top.

Up to the 2nd bolt.

Quite nice for a rope solo.

Gear a bit thin at places, but more cleaning will certainly make it better (I dug out a few small good cams). Also since I was OS, I did perhaps end up a tad too much to the left on a ledge, but gettin’ back on the line was almost as hard as the crux. Nice topout.

Onsight as drawn redpoint for the Norjamäki direct start (with preclip on the first bolt).

Bouldered the start a few times, so redpoint it is. Even If I flashed ”it” once I finally tied in. Also cleaned it on rappel, albeit it was mostly clean.

Felt hard due to all the soggy crap in the crack. Now clean’ish as I rapped down and took away Most of the crap.

Merimari ending variaatiolla (kun oli siellä se ankkuri jo valmis... ja halkeama näytti niin herkulliselta).

2nd go warmup. Again crag fully ticked. Also enjoyed a Elbesandstein ascent of First Past the Post to set up a TR for the kids. And first go repeats of Bensaa Suonissa and Smooth operator. Albeit technically Smooth was not a first go, had a few false starts before the first bolt, but that doesn’t really matter as I have this climbed quite a few years ago.

Barefoot

FA? Flash to where it joins Marginaali, which I climbed earlier. Hence RP

6B boulder into 6- crack.

Setting up TR for Vallu

Not much easier than Lumikko. But less sustained.

With the nicer and harder direct start. Also cams in pockets on granite, one star for that.

Kivaa kruisailua.

Nice route good gear. Good start to roped climbing year.

Solo, though this was a 4+.

Thin start, kept nearly fallin' off from the crux, but never did.

Brutal route, which felt like a never ending battle from the minute you leave the ground. Packs a really bug punch for the looks and height. 2nd go.

Nice one, best of the crag indeed.

Nice line and perhaps a tad harden than Berguven, but considerably easier then Snöleoparden, also well protected.

Had rapped here and had also a quick brush on some of the holds. Quite runout in nature near the crux and a tad mental.

Felt about as hard as Ormbiten for a short lad like me. More continuous than cruxy, but a bit more heady than Ormbiten.

Nice line, reminds me a bit of Vekara in Olhis. Short-lived crux, but nice climbing pretty much from start to finnish.

6B+ boulder to a route of nordic 6. Nice one, and suited my out of shape sorry ass...

Pumpy for a boulderer.

Looks like an OW, climbs not like one.

Quite a tough one at 5+, felt closer to 6- (6a).

Short but interesting crux, rest was casual cruising.

Pumpy for a boulderer. Lovely line and flash because I rapped down and shot a few pics of Sari climbing this...

Tricky or reachy boulder start to nice (but dirty) crack climbing. Pink point on Reimas gear, but in this case it made no difference. Now clean top crack btw, go climb it.

Nice line, and don’t need no stinkin’ Hulks for this one.

2nd go

Led pitches 3,5,8, and 11. Well bolted alpine sport, but location of some of the stands had me perplexed... also some pitches had really, really rotten rock.

Led 1, 3 and linked 5+6 pitches. Nice fully bolted line.

Great line, stiff grade. 1st RP.

Kind of like an overgrown boulder problem, had a bit of a struggle on this one and needed to re-compose, but managed to get it cleanly on the OS. Not polished at all, in the shade and high... too bad it's short and short lived. #sessioseiskat

Kind of like and overgrown boulder problem. Due to chipped holds, easily read and thus claiming OS feels a tad bad... Good moves though.

Stellar line...

Nice line, but way overgraded... nordic 6/+ or so.

Nice crack boulder and/or short trad route w/ bomber gear. Bolted though.

Pumpy... but not used to pocket pullin' nor limestone...

UIAA VI, so 6a. Nice line.

First redpoint, I seem to recall I toproped this sometime in the past.

Quite Ok

Seems like I have toproped this quite a few years ago... so even though I couldn't remember a thing, it was not a proper OS.

First go today, but failed on my OS a few years back.

Lovely easy route, in the top five of all sport 5s I climbed.

Can't claim an OS as have already lead the start and the end. Once again, I'm now done with this crag...

Can't claim an OS as have already lead the start and the end.

Felt almost harder than the supposed harder neighbor.

Last bolt a bit reachy for the short.

Awful line, or maybe it just doesn't suit me at all. Never again. 2nd RP.

Bird of prey droppings steal a bit from the quality of the line. 1st lead attempt, but have dabbled with this some 10 years ago or so on top rope. Also checked out the moves twice on TR before the lead.

Or more like dementia flash. Did it cleanly 1st go, but might have fiddled around with this like 10 years ago or so.

Nice, continuous and delicate. First RP.

3rd go, mainly because I forgot the sequence on how I did it on the first os attempt. Sustained and interesting.

Alt leads with AnttiL, lead 2nd and 4th pitch.

Alt leads with AnttiL

2nd go. OS attempt ended in the crux. Redpointed on 1st go a few days later.
