History

Most first ascents by Leo Määttälä in 1983-85.

Ruoppivaara

Access is sensitive!

⚠️ Keep noise down, holiday homes very near.

From Kuusamo-Posio from turn to Syrjäsuo. Park along Syrjäsuontie.

Old access was to drive to the cliff. in 4.2026 Ruoppivaarantie is blocked with locked gate. Hakolammentie is in bad shape, so driving not possible.

Walk about 2 km to cliff.

Two sectors very near each other at west end and rest two sectors at east near Ruoppivaarantie.

You find (steep) paths from cliff top to sectors. There is no extra path leading down.
