I consider this a flash since with my beta it didn't share any of the moves with the direct version although I climbed that first.

So proud to be able to climb this one!

At least as hard as Melankolia, and equally as good. Have to deduct one star for sharpness though. Happy to tick off both king lines of the crag!

Best line in Koivusaari.

Le slip top = never again

Nice line, but sharp.

Started from the lowest holds

Adds 2-3 quality moves, but feels only marginally harder than Peppu depending on where exactly you place your right hand at the start.

The mantle is actually nice once you figure it out

Nice climbing until you need to top out

Not any harder than the 7A+s here imo

Finally, the complete line! It's surprising how much a single move adds to the difficulty. Super happy to tick off this classic!

Sharp. Hook & lock-off beta

Started hands matched

Sit start

Fun little challenge 😊

Cool moves, good quality holds, awesome line despite being an eliminate!

Not that much easier than The Three Pygmyteers.

Outdoor climbing at its finest! To me this felt quite a bit harder than Vekkula.

Felt quite morpho.

Crux was not to dab.

First go after Dance of the Pygmies. Too bad they share the same start so not really a flash. That toe hook/drop knee thingy was very cool!

Very cool!

Nice problem, but not that much harder than Pygmyrina if you have the reach for the traverse.

Tough first move

First go.

First go.

Managed to static the first move with the right footholds. Had to start a bit more right though, but hands still on the same ledge.

Used the left arete after sticking the pinch. No mention of eliminates but felt softish that way.

Too close to the 6A+ line and no mention of eliminates. Very confusing. Anyway, did the topout with two different methods. Hopefully one of them is correct.

Cool problem!

My first 7A outdoors. Countless attempts over ~3 months. Was about to leave but wanted to try a last minute beta change, and it went the next go. What a journey!

2nd go. If the routes to the left are low 6s then this can't be a 5.

2nd go.

2nd go. Pretty morpho I'd say.

2nd go.

Not sure if I went too far left in the middle.

Direct topout.

2nd go.

2nd go.

Nice mantle.

My first lead outdoors.

2nd go.

Took a few tries.

Second go.

Second go. Dabbed my pad on the first.

Foot slipped from the start on my first go. Went on the second.

Did the sitstart. Not sure if I went far enough left, but oh well.

3rd go. Super nice problem.

Felt as hard as Työntökulma.

Did the sit start variation, but it doesn't add much difficulty in my opinion.

Ambiguous route description. Didn't spot any loose stones and there is no "right wall" which would be reachable from the topo line. Unless "right wall" means the right arete, in which case the route is very hard for a 5.

A very nice slab.
