We like Korouoma

Steep sport climbing in Lapland. If you go there take a helmet the crag is still relatively new.
Very nice, have been there from 21/02/2015 till 24/02/2015. Weather around -3. Generally very soft ice, but in some places wet.
The best ice-climbing in Finland! Leading up Ruskea Virta is one of the high points in climbing for me. Also Mammuttiputous is really nice colored turquoise ice.
