Urkka

Urkka is a nice compact crag of 2 boulders side by side. The boulders are shaded by trees, but they are on top of a little windy hill, so they dry relatively quickly. That makes them a good spot for spring and autumn sessions, but it works in the summer as well, due to the shades.

Rock quality is good, and approach is almost as easy as it can get, short walk on gravel and some 20 metres to the woods up the hill. The boulders are surrounded by nice forest.

Even if there aren't that much of problems, the overall quality is good. Try at least these when you're around:

Kannustinloukku assis, a superb overhanging arete
Turbo Muscle, also a really nice overhanging arete, only downside being it is preferred having at least 3 pads for this one.
Tango Delirium, a nice technical and delicate slab

Urkka is a product of one of many Kimmo N's scouting trips, and it was found in spring 2019. He got convinced that there will be some really good climbs, so it didn't take too long for him to come over and start working on them.

First session he spent there with Eetu P. and a few FA's were made, Turbo Muscle and Tango Delirium among them. Soon Sami H. joined the fun for a session and all the problems that are there today were finalized on that session.

There are still a few obvious lines unclimbed today, hopefully they will be finished soon too!
