🚶♂️
Approach from the Pihlajistontie bus station is straight-forward, up the hill climb to the climbing sectors. Easiest place to head first to orient yourself is Vahtimestari sector, which is visible from the road. From Johtokiventie direction, head over the pihlajamäki hill. The path follows through a few trees, after which you should find yourself near Kalotti, just above Ylä Vahtimestari.
The place is popular among youth and there is an never-ending cycle of spray-painting and cleaning the rock faces. There is also an unfortunate amount of broken glass and other bio-hazards, so keep an eye out where you step!
