Motivation.

Web seems to be full of training advice at the moment. So mine would be to have fun and enjoy the process what ever you decide to do. Included a short clip of Ila working with 'Marvin'. No send though. Think Ila just got bored of trying same move over and over again and didn't go back to finish it of. Sorry about the quality. It was dark and wet when we filmed this.

First snow

We got first snow last night. Might be the end of a season. No plans for the winter. Maybe edit some old footage for web?

Marvin and a moving crux.

Sami on a second move of 'Marvin' which feels piss compared to the first one. What has happened? The first move used to feel easy. Talking about the original sequence of course. The way Jyrki did it, he skipped small left had crimp all together and went for a better hold higher up. I used small crimp as intermediate. Still keen to do original way someday.


What has happened to our lovely running track?

Most of the wood have been chopped down.

guess they are making plywood...

Viva la Resistance!

Still out n' about! Todays venue was Mäyris. The boulders where a bit damp but nothing that a little chalk and a brush couldn't fix. Todays mission was 'Viva la Resistance' and 'Uniikki'. Both of them über classics. 'Viva la Resistance' has quite a bad landing but still ok with few pads. The top move is cool. At least the way I did it.

Juho got painfully close on a flash attempt on 'Viva la Resistance'. No cigar.

Tuomo showed some good skills by sending 'Uniikki' with few tries.


Juho got painfully close too...
