Niskalaukaus at Right side, Riistavuori

COMMENTS

Tried to climb niskalaukaus, but not sure if I did something between niskalaukaus and tyhjät kattilat kolisevat eniten.

Started from the lowest crimps, moving to shelf above and from there taking the crimp on the left arete. After that long move to the right slopey hold and from there straight up to two crimps and up.

So is that niskalaukaus or tyhjät kattilat kolisevat eniten or something between the two?

Well, could be something between the two. The pdf topo on Slouppi says that "to sidepulls on the left edge of steepest part of the wall to a pinch". The pinch is left of the slopey hold you used, and then straight up from there. It feels a bit contrived, and at first I climbed it the same way you described :)

Yes, very confusing and I would have not make more than one route in that spot. So you say I should have taken the pinch with my right hand which can be seen at the end of the curvy branch on the picture above and not the slopey just tad right from that in the shadow part of the picture? Forgot to mention, after taking the slopey, I heel hooked on the right and then took the pinch which I was talking about with my left hand, and then took the crimps above the pinch.

Yeah thats my interpretation, to take the pinch with the right hand and so on. But I have only second hand information anyway.
