Perhaps the best way for a climber to end and start a year is climbing out. Well, in the north the luck for having a holiday and a weather window at the same time is very rare, but not impossible it seems:) At new year's eve we went bouldering to Ravattula. It's a quite large crag for roping and brave bouldering. 
I spent the Christmas time in Joensuu, surrounded by a lot of snow, but it didn't prevent us from slacklining in a kind of a blizzard:) New experience, but not so hardcore as I would have thought. The summer touch came back in five minutes despite the winter boots, well, perhaps the Salitos Cerveza helped us little;)
Here we have a collection of pics of the last two weeks. Have to say, that the Turku weather conditions are favourable for bouldernist! My notice for last half a year have been: "If the streets are dry, the boulders are dry!" And it was true again. Somehow unbeliveable, that couple of hundred kilometers inland there is real winter, but in Turku almost butterflies are flying, great!

Below the Heman boulder at Luolavuori day before, Turku.
Two pics from Joensuu arena. The wall is cool indeed:) Below Ansa leading and Majestic Henkka is belaying.
Slacklining on Ilosaari after Christmas, Joensuu!!! Windy conditions, but it was alot of fun!! Can't wait summer to come and crank some slackline battles with guys:) 2009-01-01 @ 20:36
Talvella släkkistä Ilosaaressa, no sen tekisin ihan millon vaan uusiks. Joensuun skenesta Ansa, Tikkiteme & JugKa kovassa vauhdissa. Pieni ero lumisuuden suhteen Turussa ja JNS.
