Description

Riistavuori has basically 3 different types of climbing walls.

1) Game Forest offers mostly low routes and good landings. 5-6th grade.

2) High wall offers some high / seriously high problems , gastons, crack features and crimping on a vertical wall. Grades are somewhat easy but some might be graded by the old style = hard.

3) Right side offers good quality granit, medium height and lots of different variations in 6th grade. (Some may argue its even confusingly too many). Landing has some rocks so for the very right side you might want to have more than 2 pads.

Most climbed routes are on the right side wall.

Recommendations:
Game forest: B-porras
High wall: Simo Hovari and Korkean paikan leiri
Right side: Eritropoketiini, MC Pata, Pata Kattilaa Soimaa, Niskalaukaus

History
