So many projects...

So many projects so little time before winter comes. Yesterday me and Jussi tried the ramp project at Toivakka. It's quite similar looking as Tim Clifford's 'Park life' in Yosemite which is featured in Dosage 5. We had no success. We also tried one other project which is very cool. We found some moves, but it will be extremely hard. Perfect technical and powerful climbing. No avail on that one either...

Today was time to go check one new area with Juho. All I managed to do was to get two bleeding finger tips. On one go I got over the crux move but decided to skip all the intermediates and go for the jug. Didn't work...


At least Juho put his free time in to good use and did 'Syyshämärä stand' with both ways. Hooray!

28.7

A day out at 28.7. What a horrendous approach! Landowner has chopped all small wood and left it rotten. The trail is in unusable state. Hope somebody cleans it. Otherwise it's just waist of perfectly good firewood.


There was a lot of water too. If somebody is planning to do 'Kuhanjulma' it's best to leave it for spring and go when the pond is frozen...


Still nice to climb here every once in a while. Actually managed to do something which I had not done before. 'Dementia' photo by Kirsi Kauko.

Beasts from the east.

Beasts from the east came for a quick visit yesterday. Sami looked super strong on 'Marvin'. Second move which is a crux for most of us looked like piss for him. Sure he will do it soon. Though it looks like the season is about to end soon. Hope not.

Paavo had bit of a moment with 'Forte'. Hope he didn't knacker his finger too badly. It was quite cold for such a long problem. At least I almost fell from the top while doing it for the video. I got bit of a cold pumped. Scary...


As a consolation prise Paavo send 'Herkules' with a good style.

Here taking a nice fall from the jug while left hand suddenly popped of...

Dr G.

On one of his last days as a local climber in Jyväskylä Tomi decided leave his mark and brake the hold of 'Paskoja kompiaisia'. Hope he doesn't brake too many holds at Oulu since that would be disastrous...
