The area is access sensitive

By car:

Continue from P marker by foot. A new harvester-made trail near parking spots will take you straight to the cliff. The hike is not recommended for kids. ONLY ONE CAR can drive to the end of the road. Other marked parking spot will fit 2 more cars. If possible, try to pack your group in one car and leave the other cars to Vuoriniemi cemetery for example. Dont go to seek boat ramp from the nearby mill that is couple of kilometers before the parking. That area is private yard. Instead you can drop a small boat from Laguuni, but its only sand, not a proper concrete boat ramp. Other bigger boat ramps are in Punkaharju and on the shore between Saukonsaari-Pietolansaari.

Do not make campfire in the woods nearby. Specially on hot summer days when Forest Fire Warning is valid. Despite that climbers have been making fires in the area which will harm our possibilities to continue climbing in the area. This can lead to heavy access issues so please follow the normal guidelines.

The cliff is best to approach from the west side and it might take some effort since there is no clear path. Blue path is marked with signs on tree branches, please try to follow it to make path more pleasant. Mosquito repellent or long sleeve shirt might be a good idea for the approach.

Sauna raft is situated in the north-west end of the cliff where its more covered from waves. Please keep the raft in same place in the future! Sauna should be lifted to the shore by 1 meter or more. CODE FOR LOCK 3401. Notice that you have to press the lock before opening. It can be little tricky but the code has not changed.

There is a scrambling path going under the cliff from east side of the wall (on your right hand side when you look down). Scrambling is sketchy but doable. Be aware that some handhold blocks are loose. Other option is to rappel down and jumar up but be careful with moss and dirt falling from the top since there are no anchors on this cliff. Also some trees on the top are not solid!
