2022	Silver Lining	Second ascent. Sami used different beta which made it feel significantly easier. There should be no question about the best boulder in Finland. Found a different method for the crux which made it easier compared to Andy's nonexistent heel toe method, which felt impossible. Probably in the solid 8B range now.
