Oh yes! Once again as have had some nice winter weather here it was time to go for the finnish big wall! We made 4 awesome jumps and had 3 new jumpers experiencing the thrill of our big wall. Good times as always, maybe we'll do another expedition later this winter?

And here's some footage from the expedition!

Hyvä et lähettiin!

Fantastic

Troll did the good work he?

Yep, the Trolls (and Aave as well) performed fantastically, the Dagger.... well it performed :D

This is the highest cliff you found so far? If you have more vid´s of cliffs around in Finland let us see please.

we have higher ones here up north, we are going "scout" them in near future

That is the only cliff to my knowledge that has been jumped in Finland, there are couple of others that we're gonna check out but they all are on the same range (really low). There might be some cliffs just bearly freefallable in Lapland but they are all really remote and about 40-50km from the nearest road. So it's about 2 day hike to the bottom. :)

That sounds like an project in the wildernes :-) Bear, trouth fishing etc? Kayak/kano trip.

 
Sweet trip, thanks to all involved! Pete and Tony, you missed some goooood times!!

BTW, in the rest of Jussi's photos, those canopies sure look like crap before inflation! And sometimes even after inflation! Scary shit...

i think there is only one thing to do , i have to come :)

congrats!

it looks like fun.

how remote is that site?
how long are the days?

Yeah, it is fun. :) That site is not remote, about 3h by car and hike about 3km. Nice one day trip. At the moment we have about 7,5 hours of daylight.

much nicer than a 2-day hike to the bottom...

Loved the dog barking at the very end...like he's saying "Right on! Kick ass!" Does look like fun backyard cliff . nice scenery, how bout some girls with jugs like in that chevy chase movie...
