Olhava is the best climbing destination in Finland!
Olhava is a summer destination for almost all trad climbers and many sport climbers visit as well. There are less bolted lines, so if you visit bring all your trad gear. The climbs are mainly climbed in a single pitch but some are up to 40 meters long, and traverse along the crack systems so bring atleast two sets of nuts (and whatever else you like), and even that might feel runout.
A lot of the climbs are topropeable. It is easy to walk around the back to the top of the cliff the same route that the hikers and tourists take. There are plenty of trees at the top and on the smaller shelves about halfway up, and you will easily find cracks that will take hexes, cams, nuts whatever, to build your toprope anchors.
