Haukkari goes mainstream

Ilta-Sanomat, the biggest newspaper in Finland at the moment, started recently an "After Dark"-section, which concentrates on extreme sports. The producer contacted me after the ascent of Zodiac and now they published my video with a small article.

I don't know how Zodiac became "a 1000 meter wall", but being noticed in mainstream media was pretty cool, especially as Finnish climbing media didn't report anything about my ascents in Yosemite.

Here is the link to Ilta-Sanomat: http://www.iltasanomat.fi/afterdark/art-1288630386215.html

Click the link above (and maybe even like or share) to see the video, but also if you would like to see more climbing related news in mainstream media in the future.

Also, as they compressed the video quite a lot, you may want to watch the video as a 1080p in here:
