Järviöinen is a 70 metres wide face with nice rock quality and good holds. The face is shady almost all day, so it's a perfect spot for summertime bouldering. Just be patient after the rain, as being shady, it takes a bit longer to dry than an average crag.
There are routes from safe low ones to dangerous highballs, up to 7-8 metres. Steepness varies mainly from vertical to slabby routes of technical climbing.
Järviöinen was found by Sami Ylämurto in 2018. Sami climbed some of the routes on rope and brushed big part of the face right after. Kimmo N. & Sami H. went to see the face shortly after, and shot pics of it to encourage other locals to open the routes there. It took about a year for J-P Halttunen to grab his brushes and start working, and first boulders of the cliff were born.
2019 the cliff was seldomly visited mostly by locals, but in the spring 2020 Tatu K teamed up with J-P and some new problems were born.
At the moment of writing 06-05-2020 the description there were 20 problems opened and still quite a lot of problems waiting to be opened. The cliff surely deserves more attention, so hopefully we'll see some more FA's and a lot of sends in the season 2020.
