Memories from the archives 2

About Sonka I had written:
Yesterday we went climbing in Sonka. It's located north-west from Rovaniemi, 30 minute drive. Hard granite, slopers and crimpers. Coarse skin-eater rock provides alot of friction, as long as there is skin:) I was there for the first time and managed some warm-up onsights in a relatively chill weather. It seems that there are many intresting routes for projecting for the future. Many cool sixers and sevens:) Topo is found from the official topo-book of Finland.
On the ground there were still some small puddles of snow, but that didn't matter the access or anything. And today it's snowing in Rovaniemi. Can't really believe it, yesterday was perfect spring weather with blue sky and all. Have to go climbing again as soon as the weather allows, but it can take longer than one week! (May 11th 2008)
 
There are couple of routes that I really would like to try again in Sonka, including this short, but pepperish arete.
 Aki R. & Dennis vuonna 2008. Sellasta settiä oli sillon, melko viilee päivä, mutta mitäpä se haittais. Toinen noista herroista träditti mäkeä ylös, kun toinen vasta kaivoi valjaita repusta, sekin jäi mieleen. Ei tosin tuolla reitillä mikä on kuvassa.
