Description 

The finish on tufas is really fun. The pods are friendlier than they appear. It is short and fun.


Location 

Stay below the tier at the beginning of Finland. As the wall curves around to the right you will find a stone wall built by climbers. The route is about 20 feet to the right. It is distinguished by some ragged looking pods, and you don't need a stick to clip the first bolt.
