First RP, but had toproped earlier. Nice bouldery line. Basically two blocks with a reasonable rest in between and easier climbing to the anchor.

As I bouldered the start during the Grand Re-Opening (as I punter, I forgot my harness)

Nice rope solo

Up to the 2nd bolt.

Quite nice for a rope solo.

Onsight as drawn redpoint for the Norjamäki direct start (with preclip on the first bolt).

Merimari ending variaatiolla (kun oli siellä se ankkuri jo valmis... ja halkeama näytti niin herkulliselta).

2nd go warmup. Again crag fully ticked. Also enjoyed a Elbesandstein ascent of First Past the Post to set up a TR for the kids. And first go repeats of Bensaa Suonissa and Smooth operator. Albeit technically Smooth was not a first go, had a few false starts before the first bolt, but that doesn’t really matter as I have this climbed quite a few years ago.

Barefoot

Barefoot

Barefoot

With the nicer and harder direct start. Also cams in pockets on granite, one star for that.

Kivaa kruisailua.

Led pitches 3,5,8, and 11. Well bolted alpine sport, but location of some of the stands had me perplexed... also some pitches had really, really rotten rock.

Led 1, 3 and linked 5+6 pitches. Nice fully bolted line.

Great line, stiff grade. 1st RP.

Kind of like an overgrown boulder problem, had a bit of a struggle on this one and needed to re-compose, but managed to get it cleanly on the OS. Not polished at all, in the shade and high... too bad it's short and short lived. #sessioseiskat

Kind of like and overgrown boulder problem. Due to chipped holds, easily read and thus claiming OS feels a tad bad... Good moves though.

Stellar line...

Nice line, but way overgraded... nordic 6/+ or so.

Nice crack boulder and/or short trad route w/ bomber gear. Bolted though.

Pumpy... but not used to pocket pullin' nor limestone...

UIAA VI, so 6a. Nice line.

Lovely easy route, in the top five of all sport 5s I climbed.

Felt almost harder than the supposed harder neighbor.

Last bolt a bit reachy for the short.

Bird of prey droppings steal a bit from the quality of the line. 1st lead attempt, but have dabbled with this some 10 years ago or so on top rope. Also checked out the moves twice on TR before the lead.

Or more like dementia flash. Did it cleanly 1st go, but might have fiddled around with this like 10 years ago or so.

Nice, continuous and delicate. First RP.

3rd go, mainly because I forgot the sequence on how I did it on the first os attempt. Sustained and interesting.

Ground up, shit bolting as the crux is below the 1st bolt and landing isn't that great. Once had the 1st bolt clipped, went all the way to the top.

1st RP go

Preplaced a cam on an earlier attempt to protect the end. Can be climbed without it, but highly adviced. Grade can feel harder or easier than given, repeaters welcome to share their opinion. Now I'm finally, truly done with this crag...

Have tried it a few times in the past. 1st go this year. Cold, could not feel me hands at the last bolt, so had to look and make sure I had the hold. Good times...

Failed to do the very bouldery crux crossing the roof on OS, so dogged up and pulled the rope before getting it done on the 1st rp.

Felt trickier than the supposed harder neighbour. I'm going to claim the OS anyway, even though I had done the 1st move whilst flashing the other route, but in my defence the holds used at the start were at about head level, so no surprices there. 1 star for the mono.

Sari chalked the critical holds on the crux and put up the quickdraws. Felt like a 6B+/C boulder rather than a route.

Quite nice and delicate climbing. Checked out the moves and holds on tr, before getting it on the 1st lead.

Juggy and nice, bolts lead the way.

3 leads or so. Felt like the hardest route on the crag.

Many changes to fcvk up on this one... hence harder than Uskon varassa.

1st rp, no idea about the grade. A few goes on TR before, perhaps 4 or so.

3rd go, felt harder than smooth operator and easier than nakupetteri.

Alt leads with Sari. Did a harder ending, when I got lost.

5th try in total, 1st try of that day. Took this many tries mainly because I'm an idiot.

Actual holds and moves.

2nd rp, first rp try was from 2 years ago.

Guess it's a redpoint as the route shares the start to the 1st bolt with Bensaa suonissa (which I climbed earlier).

1st rp, 'os' on tr. Continuous line.

1st 7a, worst boltin' like evah. anti-stars for this one.
