Oranki Bouldering Cave 15.2.16
Hydepakki had a trip to the Oranki bouldering cave in Otaniemi yesterday. The cave consists of an old room, about 20 square meters, converted into a cave with over 40 problems. Members of Oranki Climbing Club (AYY) were present to offer advice and demonstrate how to address different bouldering problems. It was a good environment for beginners; being able to watch how experienced climbers go about bouldering is as helpful as attempting problems yourself. I have the tendency to over exert myself and attempt too many problems in a short period of time. Petri and other Oranki members are more methodical and controlled in their body movement and how they plan their routes. It was a fun hour and a half and we look forward to future climbing events with other Hydepakki members. I will definitely visit Oranki again because of a few unfinished problems I need to finish, but we also learned about a variety of other indoor caves and outdoor bouldering spots to explore in the future!
