The sport climbing site in Finland. Since Henrik Suihkonen did the first ascent of Alibi (7c) in 1990, the first route of each grade has been ascended in Nummi. Today Pamu Hammer's Still Life (8c+), the most difficult sport climb in Finland, can be found here.
Nummi crag is thoroughly overhanging. The climbing is sport climbing with good but sometimes sharp holds. The crag is in the shade most part of the day.

In 1990 Henrik Suihkonen ascended Alibi (7c) in Nummi. He had projected the route all summer but with no success. In late October the weather got colder and he finally managed to lead the route. Thus, the first route of Nummi was born.
1991 was a quiet year in Nummi. Henrik Suihkonen was in the army the cliff had only few visits. Most climbers were more interested in Baby Face (7b) at Muurla, since the grade was more manageable there. However, in late autumn, November 2nd, Jere Seppä did the second route Skitsokala (6c). Now there was a warmup route in Nummi.
The real progress in Nummi started once Henkka got out of the army. In 1993 he did Shake My Tree (7c+) and Adlon (8a). In 1994 he did Sheriffi (8a) and in 1995 Sulttaani (8a+), which was Finland's most difficult for many years. In 1998 he added the grade again with Estrella (8b) .
In the beginning of the 21st century, in 2001, the first 8b+ of Finland, was done in Nummi. The route was ascended by Henrik Suihkonen and it was named Jaakobin paini.
In 2006 the protagonist changed as Tomi Nytorp did Syncro (8c), which was one of Henkka's old project lines. It became the most difficult sport climb in Finland for more than a decade.
In 2019 the protagonist changed again as new generation kicked in. May 30th, 2019, the 21 year old Pamu Hammer sent Still Life (8c+)
