I think this is the diamond of Niemisel. Best route at the crag. Some holds were a bit wet, thanks for Yuzu for drying the small top crux just before the try :) An honour to climb these routes here after legend Markus footsteps. Viva la Finland!

Earliest season start ever here? :D

Jump from a weird position to a perfect hold and then a cool easy campus after that.

One of the best in Northern Finland! Perfect rock and holds. Personally felt like 7C but prolly harder. Let's see what other's say!

Never have I ever jumped to so sharp lip :D Unique boulder still, despite the quality of the rock.

Hieno for shure!

Maisemareitti indeed

Best boulder of the year :)

Hardest in Simo.

Hard and technical.

Best I've done here. Checked the moves and did it.

Much better than I thought. Felt quite easy for me, way easier than "Half Century" after break. Possible to onsight with chalk.

I fell like 10 times in the sloper move in the heat. Just couldn't hold it :D With better conditions, didn't feel hard. If the route was 8a before, then it's a + now I think. The beginning is quite physical with bad feet. Also the start of the crux is harder as the jug is missing for the feet. Who knows?

Legendary project from my father freed by Yuzu. Unique style for Finland. The upper crux has a character and it's droppable for sure haha! Go climb in Pickala!

Way too hot for a route like this. Great route though! For sure not the best in Finland, sorry Sami :)

Such a good one! Failed to onsight :(

Thank you Flatanger for the summer.

A classic of Flatanger. Not the biggest fan of the roof part in Hanshelleren.

Yeah! Extremely rarely repeated from Ondra! Long run-outs after "Nagells" chains. Hard to work but what a route! The crux is crazy exposed. No way 8b as it's much harder than all the 8b's here, hence the low amount of ascents.

Best of the best best best. Ondra classic. Oh yes, also quite hard :)

What a route! Unique shield protecting the upper part with a low percentage crux.

Like three grades easier than nagel's extension.

Masterpiece. Honestly I don't think climbing can get much better than this, five stars all the way!!

Tricky and techy. Happy for Yuzu :) You ROCK!!

On the way on extension!

Great set of holds, a bit contrived line.

Pure endurance!

What a stupid mistake cost the onsight attempt in the last "move"...

Not very good.

Almost fell in every move :D (crux was the easiest part of the route).

Just perfect sea of gneiss.

Yuzu beta's rules! Had done Flagger before, which shares the beginning, so not 100% pure flash.

Fun climbing for a small piece of rock.

:D

Uskonmoovi.

First go, not really a good one.

2nd go.

Golden moves in a golden sun.

Full on sport climbing. Loved it!

Fiasko

The crimp master 2000 Pöllänen magnum opus! Soft indeed...

Sami said something about a plague?

Indeed a masterpiece for the grade.

Good old "7c+"? :)

One of the best on MTV!

So tired at the end of the day, good climbing all the way!

Best moves at Niemisel. The never ending love for double gastons :)

So cold haha! Great classic
