Description

The real highlight routes at Kahiluoto's Uhrikallio are Sähköpaimen and Tetsuo. The first one reminds of Sirittäjä at Hyyppivuori, but with wider crack and better footholds. Tetsuo in turn completes the trinidad of idealism, peace and fierceness in the Düsseldorfian landscape; it will not make the atmosphere like a approaching thunderstorm, but brings cyberpunk greetings from the future, body hammering for the iron men and women.

Like most crags at the area, Kahiluoto is not offering any bolted climbing. Instead, there is a real yummy for the off width freaks: Kirnu. That over-wide crack is the antithesis of beautiful face climbing, even more savaging experience than Kylmä Hönkä in Hopiavuori. Those who have a soul of a bullfighter, can try to climb El Camaron.

Educate yourself by getting familiar with Kustavi's unique 5-step trad protection grading system, invented by the original jammi.net topo collection team:

* Teddy bear (pro1): You can get bomb-proof gear wherever you want, the whole route is easily protected.

* Alpine ibex (pro2): Not as obvious as Teddy bear. You have to spot the good places for protection. You may even need some micro-size gear.

* Monkey (pro3): Something suspicious. There may be some bad placements, big runouts or limited visibility to the crack to complicate putting the placements.

* Lizard (pro4): Needs true boldness. Crux moves on the most suspicious placements, route-length lead falls, critical runouts.

* Spider (pro5): Regardless having the most accurate and innovative protection gear in your rack, there is obivous risk of injury. The best protection for a pro5/spider graded route is a full commitment to a successful ascent.

History

Thanks to Mikko Lähteenmäki for originally discovering Kahiluoto's Uhrikallio. The picturesque setting at the crag is like a landscape painting in a school in Düsseldorf: Bed of reeds at the beach, shadowy forest and cows grazing right at the base of the crag. During climbing seasons of 2005 and 2006 there were 20 ideal routes established in the ideal landscape. The crags is not enormously high but it's beautiful like a piece of jewellery.
