Description

Vuosaari wall is a old local classic amongst strong climbers. Recently there has been few easier lines added here. Rock quality in general is very good, but varies from very good to tiny sharp crimps. Routes on the both ends are regular height: left side has drop offs, right side has good and easy top outs. Landing zones are very flat and perfect for pads. The wall is in the shade all day but you get some sun on the landing zone. Approach block has perfect quality but is also very low. The cliff is easy access with kids but can't be reached easily with strollers.

History

First routes opened by Nalle Hukkataival, Anssi Venho and Anton Johansson.

Vuosaari

The area is access sensitive!

Block is close to a house so very VERY important to keep the noise down to normal conversation level and leave no litter behind! Recommendation is to have max.5 persons at the main wall at same time.

Approach path comes from the south side, starting from pedestrian gravel road, close to a approach block. The Wall itself is situated in Helsinki City land and there is a permission to do bouldering here (Kaupunkiympäristö, Alueiden käyttö ja -valvonta). That said, lets keep the neighbour relations good and open!

Buses 801, 841, 842 and 93 follow itäväylä. You can stop in gas station Teboil or Fire department and walk to the crag 500m. Also free parking in the end of Melatie, next to the river. Other option is to drive to the end of Tankomäenkatu.
