Just went to the biggest climbing arena in Finland. Their highest wall was 30 meters, I'm uploading a video... To get to the boulder room, you already have to climb small metallic (see through) stair to 15 meter where you have a floor of 8 meter rope wall.. The boulder cave was pretty nice too but not huge by any mean, human dimensions! | ||

It really is awesome! The atmosphere is still a bit funny with the clean white surroundings but I'm sure its going to be fine with a bit of stain and odour  Glad you got the slide in the video too! The expansion couldn't have come at a better time. All the bouldering gyms have been way too crowded around Helsinki area. | ||

The weathers have been varied but since monday afternoon, things have been relatively dry. Sunday, I went to climb to the Diplodocus, monday to J.A Martin and in the afternoon to Rocher Guichot. Tuesday, a quick 30 min session at Roche aux Sabots, a new place to me, exploring a bit but most of the climbs were quite high for bouldering (4-5 meters). Today I went for the first time to 91.1 and took this video of a the spot, it's just a short walk around and that place was huge. A great spot for beginners. The biggest difference with gym climbing and fontainebleau climbing I noticed is the amount of footwork. Most of the times, the holds will be very small and since hand holds are "embedded", they don't become automatically foot hold. This link helped me for bleau bouldering quite a bit, as topping some boulders is quite different from indoor problems. http://www.climbing.com/skill/avoiding-the-beached-whale/ Another video this time from Roche aux Sabots | ||

Rock was dry and cold but jugs and some tops were filled with water and ice, a bit unpleasant surprise on dynamic moves :D. It's great to get a warm sun after the finnish darkness! | ||

Hopefully I guessed right on the sizing for the Five Ten Hornets, which apparently run quite small. Excited to try them. :D Opened and put them on today -- they fit great! Really pleased, they are better than all the shoes I was trying the last month at the gym and stores. Feel like I lucked out with a shot in the dark. w00t! + Show Spoiler + I dunno if anyone cares but I figured I'd update you guys. | ||
