Description

The climbing on Perskallio is exceptional although there aren't too many routes. The few routes here are all perfect crack lines! Steep and pumpy and mostly well protected.

Perskallio is easily accessible with public transportation. Walking distance is only 1,5 km from Järvelä train station. In March 2019 the commuter train stops at the Järvelä station every 30 minutes.

History
