Ice Climbing Day in Korouoma Canyon – from Rovaniemi
About
Korouoma is a millions of years old fracture valley in the bedrock. At the center of the valley, it forms a magnificent gorge that drops over a 100 meters below its surrounding terrain. Every winter, 10-20 ice falls are formed, the largest 60-70 meters tall. The mightiest and best known is Ruskea virta (’Brown Stream’). Other classics are Mammutti (’Mammoth’) and Jaska Jokunen (’Charlie Brown’). The ice climbing potential of Korouoma was discovered only in the 1980’s. Nowadays Korouma is hands-down the best destination for ice climbing in Finland!
