Ämmänpäänmäki

Boulders for all. From beginners to 7´s.

ÄMMÄNPÄÄ
Ämmänpää -boulder is a big block and almost every line is 5-6 meters high. Ämmänpää dries quickly nowadays because most of the trees have been cut off around it. Being on a clear cutting,

KRETIINIKIVI
Kretiinikivi also dries really quickly, making it a good choice for early spring or late autumn bouldering. Kretiinikivi is low boulder with good landings and mostly it's got good rock quality and mostly small holds (on the hardest test pieces especially).

Ämmänpäänmäki, Hikikivi and Pikkuhänkki are more shady and good choices for summertime sessions, but they also dry relatively quickly.

ÄMMÄNPÄÄNMÄKI
Ämmänpäänmäki is a 20m wide face on two floors and small faces on both sides of it. Ämmänpäänmäki has got a nicely textured grippy rock and mostly good holds and safe landings. Some of the Ämmänpäänmäki 2nd floors landings are rather scary though.

PIKKUKIVI/HIKIKIVI
Pikkuhänkki and Hikikivi are low boulders with good landings, so they are good choices for beginners too. Despite its looks, Hikikivis lowballs offer some nice moves, so don't overlook it while being here :) Those enjoying harder problems can take a warm-up on these boulders and head on to the testpieces of Ämmänpää and Kretiinikivi -boulders

KADONNUT KIVI/HÄMÄRÄKIVI
These boulders lay almost side by side on a partially harvested low hill. Kadonnut Kivi is a block of a bit rough red granite on top of the hill and dries relatively quickly. The problems are 2-4m high. Hämäräkivi is shadier, but still not the slowest drying piece of rock. When it comes to rock quality, Hämäräkivi is quite a bit better than its larger brother on top of the hill. Problems on Hämäräkivi are 2-3 m high. Both of the rocks have good landings.

One of Tuukka P & Kimmo N's hunting trophies from 2015. Tuukka never made it there to this date, as he moved to the South shortly after they had found the crag. So opening the crag was left to Kimmo. He started working on the crag as therapy after having his finger injured in "Myllis" back in 2016.

J. Papinaho and S. Haarahiltunen joined the team for some brushing and FA's during the summer, and Sami later in 2017 also, when "Oma Kupla" among a few other hardest test pieces of the crag were opened by Sami.

In 2021 Kimmo & Tatu noticed something that looked like a potential face while driving away from the crag. The image haunted Kimmos mind, so there were no other options but to check it out the day after. And it turned out even better than expected. Right after they started working on the face with occational help from other friends and now the face(s) hold +20 problems all together, and a few more waiting for brushing.
