Description

Hyttyskallio is the oldest crag in the Salo region. It's about 15 meters high and steeply vertical for the whole of its 100 meter length. Hyttyskallio is shady and suits well for those hot summer days. The cliff can be wet for few days after the rain. The rock at Hyttyskallio is some pretty rough granite. The terrain in front of the cliff is flat. For children, beginners and climbers of the lower font grade 7 climbers there exists a great amount of routes for many visits.

The best season is the early spring before mosquitos or the late summer after the mosquito season. The name Hyttyskallio (The Mosquito Cliff) is there for a good reason.

History

The most obvious routes were climbed in the early 1990's. There has been also some later action in the 21st century but not much.

Hyttyskallio

The area is access sensitive!

Lähitalot ovat todella lähellä - ei turhaa metelöintiä! Ainoa polku kallion päälle menee seinämän vasemman reunan kautta. Kallion oikea reuna kuuluu lähitalon pihapiiriin. Ei avotulen tekoa, kuten ei muillakaan kallioilla!

LEIRIYTYMINEN KIELLETTY PARKKIIN TAI KALLION ALLE!

UPDATE 23.9.2025: Kiellosta huolimatta vanhalla lähiparkkiksella oli yövytty, joten se ei ole enää käytössä. Vastedes normaalit pysäköintisäännöt kauempana ja erittäin kohteliasta käytöstä, kun tapaat lähiasukkaita!

--------------------------------

Avoid unnecessary noise. The nearby houses are really close. The path to the top of the cliff goes via the left side of the cliff only. The right side of the cliff belongs to the nearby house yard. No open fire.

NO CAMPING IN PARKING PLACE OR UNDER THE CLIFF!

UPDATE 23.9.2025: Despite the ban on camping at the earlier parking area, someone still did so. Thus, the old, closer parking spot is no longer in use. The new parking spot is further. Due to sensitive access, you are required to be on your best behavior when you meet the inhabitants of the area.
