Aviapolis

Aviapolis is a small crag consists of two areas, one being Pyhtäänvuori and the other being Karhumäenkallio. This is not a great place for bouldering, but it has some decent problems. The best thing about this place is it's ease of access.

The Pyhtäänvuori area is what I would call the "Main sector", and it contains a single long sector, with mostly good rock quality and varying landing quality. Mostly overhanging and vertical problems, but a few slabs as well. The walls are quite short, the tallest part being only around 2.5m tall. Some problems are surprisingly good nonetheless. This sector is a hundred meters into a forest, and thus is more private and has shade.

Karhumäenkallio consists of multiple smaller walls and rocks with rock quality varying greatly from sharp to decent. Walls are mostly vertical and 2-3m in height. The sector is basically in a park and is visible to onlookers. The rock quality is absolutely horrible on most walls, but Näyttämö, Hemomeisseli and Lohkareluola have good rock quality. Not a ton of shade here. The surroudings have some trash due to the urban environment. Part of it was cleaned by first ascentionists, but a lot remain...

Aviapolis was scouted on the 27.8.2023 by Asikainen and Virtala, and the bouldering potential was discovered. Developing started in early spring of 2024 with a group session. During this session, Asikainen, Virtala and Pihajoki developed the Sekasorto-wall. Development was left in progress, due to the team finding better places to develop.

During the terrible weather in early-mid August, Asikainen returned for multiple sessions to finish the crag, due to it being so near to their home. Some projects were left unclimbed, due to them being terribly difficult, namely Frezestack at Pyhtäänvuori and the trio of open projects at Kalloluola. On the first day of the crag being published, Pedro visited and climbed Freezestack, giving it the grade of 6B, opened "Pehmo", 6B and also climbed the sitstart for the very hard project, giving it the grade of 7A and the name of "No es el fin del mundo". The FA's for the other two starts were completed by Pedro the very next day, as was the opening of a whole new sector and two new routes. Huge shoutout to Pedro for "completing" the crag!
