Niky Ceria travelling through Finland and climbing Silver Lining (8C)

"Silver lining is a great highball! A long-standing project in Finland that was finally put up by Andy Gullsten back in 2020. When I returned to Finland in 2021 I had 2 days on it on top-rope trying the sequences. 6 pads werenโ€™t for me enough, so I knew I had to return more prepared. Last year this line was in my mind as much as the other ones in the movie. Finding it dry isnโ€™t simple, but that day I was lucky. I spent the whole session alternating top rope attempts and ground-up goes, growing my confidence in the fall. Surprisingly, at 5 oโ€™clock, everything worked well! I had 10 pads :) logistics was crucial!

I love to return to Finland. I like the vibes, the settings and the variety of rock. There is so much to visit around Helsinki and with a bit of driving effort, you can climb some world-class problems. Itโ€™s really spread out and this is personally another good feature which makes travelling there unique!"

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
