Description

Very vertical crag which is best suited for the upper mid-grade climber. Many sustained and high quality routes especially in the 6b/6c range.

Faces northeast and is rather slow to dry. But the shady situation is also very great on those hot sunny summer days.

Approach takes around 6 minutes. Start by walking along the tractor path. When you reach a Y-junction, take the right fork. After only 30 steps go left along a climbers' path, which takes you to the crag. The path to the "Pikkusektori" is equally ill-defined but basically make your way fairly close to the small stream, as otherwise you end up on top of the cliff.

History

Luhti crag was found right after the millenium. The first routes were done by Tomi Nytorp, Sami Maukonen, Miika Mustonen and Jari Uusikivi.

Development was very active during the first decade untill more or less everything was done. These days Luhti crag has become very popular

Climbing has been limited!

Access update 14.6.2024: Google maps believes you can't drive along Viljamaantie so it gives incorrect directions. Therefore navigate to the secondary parking marker (otherwise you will be detoured through the landowners' yard), then continue to the primary parking spot.
It's absolutely prohibited to park anywhere else than the described parking with space for three cars. If the parking is full you should go somewhere else in the area (e.g Nalkkila or Sahakallio). The neighbours are complaining and the land owner is very bored with climbers. Thus there is a risk of closure altogether if people don't comply with the rules.

SKIL 09/2023: Luhdin kalliolla on ollut ongelmia autojen pysäköinnin suhteen ja kalliolla on ehdoton pysäköintikielto Viljamaantien varrella. Tiellä liikku leveitä työkoneita, joilla ei mahdu pysäköityjen autojen ohi, joten käyttäkää ainoastaan cragsiin merkittyä parkkipaikkaa, johon mahtuu kolme autoa.

Mikäli autoa ei saa mahtumaan parkkikselle, Viljamaantielle ei saa pysäköidä! Pitää vaihtaa suuntaa muualle, esimerkiksi lähistöllä sijaitseviin Nalkkilaan ja Sahakalliolle.

Ensisijainen parkkipaikka on väärässä paikassa, jotta 27:n appi ja Google ohjaa oikean reitin. Katso kartasta oikea parkkis.
