S U N

"Sun is shining, the weather is sweet". Makes you want to climb. Doesn't it?

Extremely rare sunny day! We hardly ever get to see sun in November in Finland. Not to mention climbing! But today (22.11.2009) was a welcome exception!

Testing testing, so interesting. I think these new DSLR's make handy cams quite obsolete...

Past weeks

I have been a bit busy with school work lately. Hence the lack of updates. Here are few shots from past weeks.


Kirsi sending one of the best aretes in Jyväskylä called 'Uniikki'. Moves on it are very unique indeed. It is an arete, but doesn't climb like one.


One of the strongest boulderers in Finland Jussi Remonen has changed his passion from climbing to woodwork and other hand crafts.


Jussi's stool. Everything is done by hand and no electrical appliances or screws are used. Everything is done the old fashion way!


One morning in Lehtisaari.

Fyysikko

A funny video of my accent of Fyysikko... How nice to see yourself behaving like a total twat. Believe it or not, but I was still enjoying every minute of it!

Huomio: Sisältää huonoa kielenkäyttöä! ;)



Fyysikko is a classic Font 8B problem at 28.7. First accent was done by Tomi Nytorp in 2005. Problem consists 12 hard sustained moves and a jug haul at the end. On the send I got a really bad cramp on my right calf muscle. Luckily I was able to fight all the way to the jugs and top it out.

10 days in Lapland - Part 1

This is the first of two videos from our Lapland holiday. I decided to make two videos instead of one long. It will work better in 27crags as it features one area at the time. I didn't edit this video too much so that it works as a beta video too, I hope...

Part one features 'Martti Servo' block. Quality of the rock is as close as you can get to Fontainebleau in Finland. Without the reindeer you might actually think that you are in Apremont.

Misty morning

I am not a morning person. Sometimes it worth waking up early though. Like the other day, it was a beautiful misty morning when me and Doris went for a walk. Thankfully I had my camera with me.

Plywood factory at Säynätsalo.


Infamous bridge which has caused a lot of debate lately for being too narrow.


A good place for a morning swim?
