2ndgo

One of the best 7a’s in Finland

Superb, every move is precise, font style climbing in Rautio!

Awesome!

Super nice!

2015 fell from the top hold, since then didn’t have the strength to link it again for years before this year.

Soft

First ascent. Started raining in Halsvuori so we drove here, top was mossy, pumped from the climbing and brushing. Sharp as hell, can recommend to absolutely no one.

Better variation to eliminatw the arete on the right and use only the pockets for right hand, grade around 7a

Interesting movement

Couple of tries, tricky heel hook.

Nice linkup, felt like a 7c+/8a sport route.

2ndgo

1go but not a real flash after wish i was here

Landing is pretty bad, better to have atleast four crashpads

Heelhook beta was the key.

Just left of neliveto, for some reason couldn’t draw it

Did it in the weather i wanted (+26c and sunshine).

2ndgo

World class. This would be a classic anywhere, thanks for Ville for the beta.

Used a left hand microsidepull in the start, felt 7a with that beta, the betavideo style was imbossible for my ape-index.

3rd ascent, felt like 8a, original sequence foot hold has broken couple of years ago, powerful but delicate.

More like 7a/+ with the heel hook beta

Hard linkup, nice climbing but the line is not as obvious as sabamiesten seurakunta.

One move wonder

3 year project, so happy i’t went down.. the original heel hook was the way for me..

Todella herkkä kruksi, ei ois menny ilman just edeltävää fontsun reissua :)

classic!

superb!

classic, hard to find the beta but after that mainly more about commitment!

7a+ in 7+8 topo but felt like 7a.

hard to find the balance

what a line!

loved the first move!

about 5 tries..

last move was about commitment..

soft

Felt hard at +23 celsius.

Todella hieno

First go after arete version

Hieno herkistely

One of the best one's ive done in Vaasa. Sensitive beta.

Nice move with the pinch!

Classic, this route alone is worth the trip..

Mukavan herkkää kiipeilyä, aika kostea keli oli.

Interesting movement..

One of a kind! Could easily be found from font.. Very much like font grattons. Must do in Rian!

Stiffside 7a..

What a mantle..

Beautiful line! Felt a bit easier.

Same stone as smooth operator, next problem to the left after the tree.

Climbs really well, spooky topout..

Instant classic!

3rd ascent? felt like 7c for me..

maybe a bit harder than clockwork orange

Outside the box climbing!

Hard with +20 and sunshine

Way harder than many 7b routes, and harder than Mött mig i nordland

Nice

2nd go

Classic, a bit morpho, one session

Villasukka oli tärkeä..

Nice moves

Instant classic!

The weirdest toe hook move..

Slab classic, definetly one of the best slabs i've climbed!

couple of tries this year

Just before the rain came

Superb arete!

Took 15-20 sessions this year, luohua testpiece of crimp-strength, with original left topout.

Hard first move

Stand start both hands on underclings

did it with sitstart, same grade

Highball slab, sit start..

Excellent movement!!!

campusing outside

One of the best problems i've climbed, stone is like in fontainbleau or martti servo on this block!

Fontstyle slab with a font topout!

Idyllic spot for a boulder..

Just beautiful

Beautiful line! And what a view.. bit easier with new beta..

Like font but granite.

Very nice! Limit for me so far.

Finally, Was a monkey on the shoulder after knee injury on this one in 2012.

Topped to the right.

2 sessions, amazing route! softside 7c

3rd ascent

Just like font.. what a slab..

7a with new beta..

what a route!

Nice one! Shame its an eliminate..

Memories of font

Soft

Highball, grade is actually quite right, but it took some cojones to do the crux moves in the top..

one nemesis, finally,3 year project..

2ndgo

Great slab!!!!

nice!!

classic

3rdgo

2ndgo

Indoor climbing outdoors, one of the must do's in rian!

olipahan hieno! sittarista tulee myös hieno..

A bit sharp but a great line, props for sakke for spotting this one!

Superb rock quality!

Nice route, felt harder but weather was pretty shitty...

must do route, utopic climbing!

Pretty cool for such a lowball line! crux for me was to find beta for the first move, props to erkki, maybe more like 7a+ than 7a..

one move wonder might be a bit easier on better friction, if the lower start is to be climbed the log should be chopped to avoid dapping..

assuming that the line stays on the face.. nice deadpoint move from the under!

Amazing lines!!

Highball, one of the best this year!

Reitin nimi: Uutta Verta (ei pystyny jostain syystä muokkaan nimeä) FA by O. Aspi

Sitstart was tough!

Hienoin släbi mitän oon kiivenny so far!!!

best line of the day.. beauty!

didn't use the small holds

First ascent after the hold broke, nowadays 7b+ in my opinion.

edit: reclimbed after hold brakeage, still 7b with new beta

Interesting movement

shitty landing

cannot recommend to anyone.. sharpsharpsharp

One of the boldest and coolest lines in oulu area!

Technic.

Kaikkien läpsyjen äiti.

all about technic and shoulders x 100!

weirdo hook move!

One of the coolest 7B routes i've climbed!

cool moves, frustrating fall from the top but managed to send it same day.. thanks to matti and osmo for beta!

cool line, all about trusting the feet..

Super psyched, was epic battle for me. Many sessions this and last year.

Solid 7B+! Incredible movement!
