Intensive!

Somewhat exhausting

Slippery as on the sunny side

Very nice climb! 2nd (3rd?) go.

2nd go

Sitstart

Sitstart

2nd go. Nice one!

7a?

Highball

2nd go. Quality!

Wet but climbable.

Also sit start climbed.

Intensiivinen ja krimpikäs. Täysin eriluonteinen kuin viereinen Purple Haze.

Technical. Good climbing.

Bolting...wtf!?? Should definitely get additional bolt between 2nd & 3rd. The obvious hand hold for stepping up on the ledge is not solid. Climbing wise the route is ok though.

Nice! Rest of the route was on-sighted earlier.

Visually imposing, technical and excellent!

Good climb with character. Overhanging so the pouring rain didn't matter. Last route of the trip.

Cool crux section

Felt easier than neighbouring 'Viagraman'. Nautintokiipeilyä.

Freezing temps, could not feel my fingers.

Practically os but saw climbing on the L1 part. Magnificent line with pumpy ending!

Very nice

More pockets

Pockets

Decent bang for the buck.

Fell at anchor on flash try due to crumbling hold. 2nd go. Rock quality takes away one star.

2nd go. Tricky upper part.

Moist air but ok friction. On a way to Iisalmi.

This route has some of the best sequences I've done. A rare roof section, lock offs, deadpoints, pump...

Cruxy

Best route of the cliff imo

Good climbing with couple of smallish holds. Hard to grade, 7c/+ range? 1½ stars.

Took a while to figure out the technical start boulder

Direct done before

Excellent

Some ways resembles classic 'Urheiluhullu' in Falkberget. 6c+/7a range.

New warm-up. Last bolt serves also adjacent 'Iku Turso'.

Excellent route and rock quality! Climbed with the original beta.

Thanks to Paavo for brilliant route and good beta!

6a+/6b range

You can slip into and out from the tube but can you get up? 7b/+ range.

Action packed warm-up

7b+/7c range. Unmissable.

Short but excellent! 6b?

Exceptional. 7c/+ range.

Spicy overhanging half.

Good overhanging warm up. Hides a pocket with rock crystals.

Rope season opening and the first route of this new cliff. Climbed partly via arête.

Nice upper part

Getting a bit polished

Tricky for the grade

Progressive pump

7a+ in 2016 topo

Very nice!

Cruxy. 7a+ in 2016 topo.

Very nice!

Too morpho beta.. 2nd go.

7a+ in 2016 topo

Easy for the grade

Continuous. Liked a lot!

Rapsakka alku

Hienot muuvit

Tekninen

Hieman erilainen kokemus

Päälle asti

Long and versatile. Would easily get two (or even three) stars if the rock was more solid on the lower half.

Cool hooking

Shortie with character

Beautiful finger splitter

Both parts

Forgot my headlamp and was able to climb only this

Hard for the grade. Cold weather & numb fingers.

Absolute classic. Well bolted.

Quality climbing all the way to anchors from the bulge

Much better than it looks, 1.5 stars

Very good!

Shares chain with Predator and almost as good. Highly recommended.

Super quality

Nice!

Continuous. 7c?

Intensive and friction dependent. Two and half stars.

Couple of tries. Maybe soft as was able to climb this with holiday belly.

Extraordinary! Best boulder moves this summer.

Nice one Jody!!

Classic. Quality all the way.

Cool holds. Better than it looks.

Name has its reasons

Felt bit soft with a knee-bar beta

Long and nice. The rock here trashes your skin before you even notice!

A gem!

Nice explosive moves

Couple of tries

On a snowfall

Have thought this is too morpho but did it in couple of tries. Very special moves!

Excellent

2nd.. well ok, 3rd go. Slipped my foot in the start on flash try. Fine line!

Season start. Committing top move (did not use the ninja kick).

Steep compression so it can't be bad

There are easier 7b's. Long moves and couple of sharp holds.

Progressive. Was about to fall several times. Dirty top-out.

Sporty trad. Excellent!!

Getting mossy

3rd go. Nice moves.

Sharpish

Sit start.

Vague

Badly red crux on os try. 2nd go.

Tr warm-up a week back.

Good fight! Hand jam overdoze.

Continuous and enjoyable.

Nice dynamic start

Short but continuous.

Monipuolinen. Hyvää jammausta.

Loistava!!

Lukihäiriö os yrkällä. 2nd go.

Hyvä lämppä

Nice

Recovering from shoulder injury

With painkillers

2nd go. Next to last move with the sit start before double flappers...

Nice!!

Steep and spicy. Sitstart.

Excellent coordination dyno

Hieno

Hooks

Could be my present bad shape but felt hard. Brilliant line by Antti!

Quality! Couple of tries.

Gaston & highstep

Warm up

Enjoyable process of getting this done! Cosmic friction, classic line.

Very dynamic

Good friction! Fits my climbing style.

Yes! Outstanding line.

Quality. Straightforward.

Obvious moves. Nice!

Not quite sure about the starting holds.

Dynamic start.

Nice!!

2nd go (started one hold too high on flash go)

Even slimier weather..

First time ever climbing in Halsvuori!

Felt hard on a slimy weather

Versatile route. In a session.

Trickier than it looks

Good climbing over awful landing. 3rd go from the start.

Short session in a midday heat. Brilliant route! 7c/+ range?

Static style

Match beta

No s**t!

Short session in a rain. Couple of tries.

Date not exact

Date not exact

A Sami classic. Couldn't keep feet on a wall at the crux, so felt hard for me!

First half is sharp and hollow sounding. Nice sequences though! Started right hand on an undercling at waist level.

Came up with a really cool beta! Big piece detached from the lip (it wasn't me..), fortunately there's enough hold left. Couple of tries.

Quality climb. Sitstart.

Flashed up to mantle top-out. Still the ascent took couple of more tries.. Good rock!

Superb stone quality

Very nice!

Was doable later in the evening when temps went down

Nice to have spotters on this!

Broke some holds. At the moment too much loose rock for finishing on top. Or maybe I'm just a mammari.

Only couple of tries this year! Probably gained some arm span during winter...

Big hold has been detached from the upper prow. Still a good line!

High indeed! Proud line with definitive crux.

Sweet!

Surprisingly long

Mossy top-out

One long move

Quality!

Technical

Feels hard in a warm weather

Good traverse for building basic stamina. No idea about the grade.

Another classic from Paavo! 1st rep.?

Quality highballing

Nice compression moves and cool top-out

Steep arete

Classic!! Feels easier with my beta.

Hooking the right way was the key to me

Warm-up

Dry for once!

On a way to Boulderpaja decided to try my luck and drove on to Forte. And yes, this time the line was all dry! Good friction at -2°C.

Sharp

Couple of height dependent moves, thereby difficult to grade: probably easier for taller but can be impossible for shorter climber. As a bonus I've never seen this line seeping.

Beautiful line from Make!

5th go. All the initial grades in Grevböle topo are my personal suggestions. Lines may be easier or harder.

In a session.

6b+?

Bad beta on flash try. 2nd go.

Hard for the grade imo

Very nice!! 7b+/c

Nice link-up

3rd go

Sprained my back muscle...

Quality! In a session.
