Posted on October 4, 2007 by Sampsa Jyrkynen

Some pictures from Yosemite are online now! We’ve had very good three days here with three routes done. The pictures are in random order since we need to sleep. Tomorrow we have a serious route to be done!

New routes in Kunlun region

Posted on August 26, 2007 by Sampsa Jyrkynen

Lauri said they have climbed new route to the summit of Peak 6046 with Henri!

The route is called “Man who dances like a tibetan” (TD, 850m). The first 650 meters of the route lie on the west face and the upper 200 meters lies on the south face. Good job boys!

The expedition will be back in Helsinki on Sunday September 2nd. They have loads of pictures and five hours of video footage!

Good weather in Kunlun

Posted on August 20, 2007 by Sampsa Jyrkynen

The Kunlun expedion is ready for more action now. They have packed supplies for five days and they are aiming at climbing one 1000m couloir and one 1000m face. Both routes are unclimbed before. Lauri is very psyched about sending these routes!
