The crag consists of multiple glacial erratics. The biggest boulder 'Yläpallo' is about 10 meters wide and 7 meters high and provides some true highball bouldering. The area has lot to offer, more routes will be opened in coming years.

The crags are beginner-friendly (except Yläpallo) and routes are currently pretty easy on grades 4-6.

⚠️ 'Yläpallo' boulder is really high +7m and therefore dangerous. Be careful and bring multiple pads and a spotter. Consider top rope to ensure safeness.
