Really great addition, much better than the stand! Fell from the top on the flash...

Felt a bit easier for me... Good addition from Juho!

Small holds, much easier if tall, 2nd asc?

A really good one from Marko!

No jump = no send.

Perheen pieninki ylsi tokalla :)

Eipä menny ekalla sittenkään :D

Stand start from two big sidepulls. Much cooler this way than from the sit in my opinion. Climbed it in rather damp conditions so don't know about the grade. Cool moves!

Amazing line! If I would be 1cm shorter it would have been impossible for me with the beta I used. The shorter you are, the harder it gets.

Final boss of Lystinmäki :D

Such a cool feature. Physical climbing with great rock quality. Swoop!

Beautiful line with just the holds you need. Bouldering at it's purest form. Thanks to OP for showing me this project. After talking with Andy maybe 8A is more appropriate? Not a 7C+ in my opinion. Impossible to grade anything nowadays as the grade varies so much between the routes. Nonetheless, inspiring line :)

I'm pretty damn stoked about this! Legendary first ascent by Tomi Nytorp in 2004.

Sometimes everything clicks, sometimes not. Such is life :D

Big bummer that it's an eliminate.

Masterpiece!

Cool pockets but unfortunately it's an eliminate. Felt more like 7C+, soft?

Perfect holds and untypical climbing. Perseheiluri is the key to success!

Classical flash punt from the last move hahaha. Shitty friction today. Felt more like 7B+ with right hand first beta? Cool feature anyways!

Fun day out with Andy!

The most obvious start. Great addition from Tommi!

The full line! Long roof with hard and fingery finish. Big thanks to Sami for letting me climb this and also to Paavo for the other boulders!

Tried really hard on flash. Failed at the top, couldn't get any closer. Rare treat to get climb such good roof's in Finland!

Summer bouldering with Kuutti!

Best boulder in Finland?! Compression all the way to the top. A team first ascent with Sami :)

Epic fight and line. Felt so tired that I almost died at the top. Thanks to the grand old man for his revolutionary beta. A team ascent with the crew.

A contender for the best boulder in Finland! Grade is irrelevant when climb is as good as this.

At least we found something "dry".

This time the real way? I'm not the biggest fan of eliminates but this is a classy one. Breaking all my personal codes for giving an eliminate two stars :D

Not my best trip but this one sure was a memorable moment!

Hard and proud!

Honestly if you have some technic this thing is an entry level 8A... Anyways, a Fred classic!

Thank god I didn't fall from the slippery top.

Best boulder in the multiverse?!

Bouldering doesn't get a lot better than this!

Those holds...

Flashed the crux move. Then did it 3rd go from the start, all about the the one move.

Not polished at all!

I didn't know I was on a ice skating trip?

Started with the original start. In my opinion that is the only logical way...

Props to Anssi! Somewhere between 8A/+...

Pretty crazy sequence. Much better than it looks.

What a classical move! Had a pretty epic fail from the top jug, haha.

Whew... Boulder was completely soaked but somehow we managed to dry the holds. Non-existent friction today, had to really fight for this.

Felt more like 7A?

Had flashed the other one with the same topout first, so?

Punting on the last move on my flash try has been some kind of habit now :)

Basically flash but not by the book. A foothold crumbled when I was going for the jug...

Pretty shouldery! A benchmark, as 8A should feel like.

Funky boulder with slick rock. If the holds would actually have some friction this would be much, much easier. "Vittumainen" describes this perfectly :D

I've always wanted to flash this one. Didn't happen this time :D Second go from the start.

Found some new tricks on this one. This boulder has the only sharp hold in Ängesbyn...

Hard first move! I really liked this one.

Classic foot pop on the flash attempt. Second try was the charm!

Feels so much easier when the heel sticks.

Third go from the start. Nice one Aaro!!

Unfortunately you can skip the final jump... Didn't have the guts to jump on the flash try :D

Five tries and a ditched car, epic day!

Brushed and chalked the holds first, so not the "cleanest" flash.

Unique!!

Long moves and some sharp holds. Took quite many tries to stick the first move.

Five minutes and three tries. Personally felt like 7B :)

Felt harder than "Kasparov" :D

Topping this one stands out as the best bouldering moment I've ever had!

In my opinion a very logical line and worth climbing!

Following the obvious streak! Hard lock-off to a super commiting top, at least when it's little bit wet/slippery.

Really good dyno into crimpy top. Bring some skin.

Incredible... Felt weightless.

Cool little easier climb between "Hypergravity" and "Flying V".

Immaculate...

Amazing boulder! A true hidden gem.

Never again!

The line is perfect! Really cool and fingery climbing at the start. Remember to bring some skin and pads for this one.

Great traverse indeed. Flash attempt was as close as it gets. Next time!

Great straightforward boulder!

Upper part is nice!

Proud line! Got close on the flash but second try was the charm!

One of the best EVER!

So damn good....

Cool jump to sharp crimp. Just before the rain.

One of the hardest in Finland :D

Fell on the last move on flash... Messed up with my feets like chicken burrito.

First time in my life when I missed a hook :D

Checked the crux move on rope. 2nd try from the start.

10 minutes. A true classic!

Pumpy.

First go from the beginning after climbing Lucifer.

Almost flash.

Foot popped on flash. 2nd...

Felt like 8A in 28°C :D

Unfortunately didn't have time to try the Sit.

Classic.

The most trickiest sequence I have ever done! I found completely new beta for the start. Felt heinous with the original way. Two days this year.

Ville is a legend!

Double clutch to a mailbox!

Tough one. Had to force it.

Committing all points off dyno to a perfect hold. Unique mantle at the top. THE BEST!

Flashable. Low in the grade.

Maybe a bit harder after the hold broked.

One of the best problems in Finland.

One of the best!

Epic struggle with this one today. Ramp was so slippery. No wind at all and pretty hot. 4th ascent.

Nice one Pontus!

So slippery weather.

Räps in the flash.

Great one!

Sharp but fun moves.

World class in my ass...

One of the best rock I have ever seen.

Stunning line with amazing holds! 15 mins.

Once you find the right beta its pretty easy. Sun is my best friend...

Started with sitstart.

Maybe FA?

Great body tension boulder! Had hard times with the first move. 3rd ascent.

Wow!

Finally the weather got better! Double dyno to the lip.

Almost flash, climbed it hands over the lip because of mossy top-out.

Probably +40 degrees....

So hot!!

So much blood and skin... Finally done! :)

2nd try.

Hard first move. Adds three moves to the higher start.

With socks :)

Powerful.

2nd try.

2nd try this year. Amazing!

Assis was so close... Next time!

30 mins. Classic!

Topout...

Hard to find the right beta. Six tries from beginning.

Really fast send. About seven tries. Used a little bit different beta than Sami.

Tried few times last year and I had no change back then. First try on second day. Magical friction.

Tried briefly last year and i couldn't even hold those nasty crimps. This time it was different! 5 goes.

Felt really hard for me. Technical and very powerful.

2nd try. Really nice moves and holds. 2nd ascent?

Nice flash FA!

Rock quality is almost superb!

Pretty easy with right beta.

So close to flash... 2nd try.
