Lähdin liikkeelle vasuri fleikissä ja oikea samalla korkeudella olleessa siderissa ja siitä sit vasuri pokettiin. Kiva reitti, mutta seisomalähdön otteissa en pysynyt hetkeäkään, joten siinä mielessä tämä tuntui softimmalta.

It's like totally my kinda line man! Great stuff and also my first 7B, scary top out.

Upea linja tämäkin! Eka koskettelin Jarin toppiin ja sitten vetasin tämän :)

Tämän kesän toka sessio ja meni ekalla yrkällä. Vaikka tulihan tätä jauhettua useampaan otteeseen männä vuosina.

Now it went quite easily, on the earlier tries didn't have the guts to stand up.

I started projecting the route so certain that it's going to be easy, but then I ended up giving quite many tries for the end part. Balancy and cool line, I like it.

It was scarier than I thought.

Started right hand on under cling and left on top of the sloper. Mathced to the good hold and then went straight to the top out slab. Felt kinda easy, but for shorter people it might be much harder.

A quality slab problem

If you have ascended this earlier please comment here.

Finally did it! My first 7A+ on the first session of this year. I guess hangboard training did the trick since I was now able to hold the pinches before the final big move.

With correct beta it's actually pretty decent line. The easy slab at the end made my legs shake.

Good traverse!

Nice moves, but maybe bit soft for 7A.

Two years ago, I couldn't do it. Now it went on first try.

Hmmm. probably something is eliminated. Started low, left foot on the wall and right foot flagging. Did a dynamic move to the big hold with right hand, rest is trivial.

Cool stuff! I used the ever so elegant knee mantel at the end.

Cool moves! The ending was more difficult than I thought at first.

Nice route for the days you don't want to fall from 10 m high slab.

Took so many tries and a lot of fine tuning the beta.

Projected from start to finish during one session.

This was the first line of this year! First time I feel that Koivusaari doesn't suck that much.

Took about 5 sessions last fall and three sessions this fall. This is the best boulder problem I have ever done!

This was a cool and easy compression/balance line.

Hmmm. How to grade this. I started it like Mikko Virta and then went straight to the big jug with my left hand, it felt super easy. Really cool route but definitely not a 7A.

Sharp, but nice

start left hand on the mini crimp and then move it to the crack and its done.

Did it statically and it felt easy.

Really nice mantel problem

Nice small technical problem.

Maybe even 6a+

Nice problem, top out felt scary after long day of climbing.

Difficult sit start

Nice moves, I had to struggle with this one.

Nice and hard 6c balance problem, quite fragile indeed. I'm glad I topped this before I had to leave.

Did it after so many tries, now its done! Feels good!

So obvious line that probably someone has climbed this before me.

Felt easy now that I started with my left side close to the wall. I used the big jug on the left but not the arete.

Nice route, finally found a static beta.

Beta: bang your head to the roof to stop the swing

Difficult sit start

Cool line, I had to slap the slopers few times before I was able to send it.

Nice clear line with delicate moves

Be careful the holds tend to break off.

Super cool problem, took some tries.

Second try, nice route.

Super nice line, I've always wanted to flash this one.
