We like Korouoma

A very nice Ice/mixed climbing place. There's also some old rock routes. Recommendable for winter visit.
Ice climbing my first and second time. Awesome!
Revontuli and Jaska Jokunen are still one of the most enjoyable icefalls in Finland. Ruskea Virta is a must, although a bit boring.
