Good and varied climbing, nice for warmup. Around the middle there was a big loose jammed flake that was rotaring quite a lot, clearly much used as a hold. I wonder if it's coming of soon.

Spicy boulder, with some delicate moments on the cool off.

Nice climbing, indoor style.

Sustained face climbing on small holds with a couple of thin moves. Felt much harder than 40-års krisen (6+). Maybe I need to work on my calf endurance :) I might have tried this years ago.

Artesanal routefinding and continuous climbing. Had rappeled the line after climbing the neighbouring line so flash.

Awkward crux. Dor some strange reason there is an extra bolt above the second roof, clipping of which will make life very complicated for the leader. The end would be much nicer to climb hands on arete, but it was completely covered in lichen. I brushed it a bit, now it might be ok to climb.

Second go. Not easy to onsight.

Hard crux, otherwise very pleasant climbing.

First 7b! Powerful, bouldery moves.

2nd go, foot slipped on first try. Would be worth 2 stars without the loose holds, which are quite crucial. I would advise the belayer to stand a meter or so on the right of the bolt line to avoid catching the loose holds on the face when they come off.

Good climbing for the grade and length of the route.

Couple of hard moves for the grade, otherwise easy.

2nd go. Distinct technical cruxes with nice climbing in between. Did not find the mentioned difficult clip on 8th bolt, clipping was ok for the grade in my opinion. The hanger on 7th bolt was spinning a bit, we considered it still trustworthy though.

First try after getting to first bolt (slippery!)(which I had onsighted earlier for bensaa suonissa), flash after that.

Some hesitation where to step right, eventually went somewhere between bolts 1 and 2 where it looked most climbable.

Now here is some proper slab climbing. Holds seem to accumulate some sand in higher section, due to bare sand slope at the top.

Mostly covered with lichen but still climbable. Somewhat runout feeling. Pre-clip would not be a bad idea. Probably more difficult for someone shorter than me (175 cm).

Pretty bouldery.

Almost enjoyable for a slab route :)

Short but intensive.

Nice slab, which is not what I usually say about slabs.

Great climbing!

Nice moves, big moves, delicate moves. Great climbing :)

Lämmittää varmasti kehon ja mielen.

Beautiful continuous climbing on the extension with smooth but punctual beta. Zero hard or sketchy moves when you get the choreography tuned in.

Proper introduction indeed!

Offers good opportunities to practice your handjam, and also slab climbing in the end.

Surprisingly awkward at places. Offers possibility to practice your handjam.

Best route of the grade that I've climbed!

Strong faith required.

Taste the Havukallio friction.

Tufa wrestling extraordinaire!

Welcome to the eighties!

Sport climbing with big S! Good holds, big, powerful moves, all the way from start to finish. Did every move on first practice run, the route went on try #15.

Loose rock on first third.

Practice your crack climbing skills.

Only first pitch, continued other route to top. Bad weather day from skiing, start of outdoor climbing season at Kvaløya. Entire Brensholmen sector completely dry after few days of warm S wind.

Nice continuous climbing, except for rappels and hikes between the towers. Led pitches 2,4,5,7.

Very nice climbing with good holds, it was a bit wet from rain on yesterday.
