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

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.

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

Ein Meisterstück!!

Quite tricky boulder in the crux. If you can reach it with the tall people beta, I honestly think the route is not more than a 7b+ :D But it doesn't matter, go climb it!

Fingery for a warm-up, good beta from Yuzu!!

Super!!

Last move in the onsight, again... :D

Fell at the top on the onsight, seems like I can't climb anything first try this trip haha!

Great climbing!

Stunning prow in the middle of my favourite place in the world. A true masterpiece...

Hard!! Really impressive effort from Ruusu :)

Not that bad at all!

Fantastic endurance climbing!

Yet another hidden gem! A really fun one with a long interesting crux sequence. Gratitude if someone onsights this.

Skipped the 5+ slab in the beginning. The quality of the stone is a piece of art in the upper part. Extension is the real line, will come back for that someday!

Classic, first 8a in Ötztal.

All the stars in the world!! The upper sector of Piburger is something else...

Hidden gem

Outstanding route! I'm quite picky with stars, but the ending is perfect.

Ace route!!

I really enjoyed this. Technical upper part is unique :)

Hard to onsight! Really great climbing on smooth rock, nice one Teemu :)

First go but knew the lower part from "Bruce lee". Maybe the best route in the crag!

My first bolting experience! Epic journey with this one. At first it felt easier but then I broked a crucial foothold at the lower crux. Now it's quite bizarre... Later I had to fight with wet holds and shitty conditions. Today the weather was absolutely perfect. Only a couple of wet holds but fought my way up :) Maybe my best two climbing days in a row. A muerte!

A very nice corner crux with great rock!!

Today everything clicked. Such a strange climbing experience for me. It always felt easy but I guess it isn't after all...

Retro flash. Better than I remembered!

Alzheimer onsight after eight years. Great one from the legend Martin!
