Have done Pihlakamusi before.

Maybe has been done before. The big vertical rail adds some spice.

There are two possible versions. One goes up directly and eliminates all holds from the left (no crimps and bullet holes). Starts with two hands on a very sharp crimp rail and goes straight up. (might be in the 6a+/6b range). The other version starts with one hand on the rail and the other on a decent crimp to the left, utilises the bullet hole and then goes straight up. That is the version we climbed.

Crimpy and techy traverse. Would have been a flash but I tried a much tougher direct version before.

Very cool crack route...nice and burly. I could reach the right hand pinch from SDS...so the start was a bit easier for me.

Probably has been done before.

Probably not first ascent...unfortunately no previous marking and information.

Most definitely climbed before...unfortunately hasn't been marked and therefore I have no information about ascents.

Since the problem hasn't been previously recorded I have no information about past ascents.

Probably has been climbed before. Since the route hasn't been marked I have no information about previous ascents.

We did discover some holds lower down that might make a SDS version possible. Starting from a sidepull crimp and feet on a big rail. It is considerably tougher though and might bring the cumulative difficulty to at least 7A.
