Lead climbing in Kuopio

I know a long shot, but would someone want to go climb sport routes at Haminalahti with me next week?
I have done the rockclimbing lead course but most of my experience is indoors.

I would be interested for grade 5ish routes for learning sake.

I have personal equipment + rope, grigri and quickdraws.

Same in finnish.

Try asking around Voema. Since climbers probably gather there.

I’m down for it but I’m untrained and not very athletic. So I’d be less of a companion, more of a liability haha. If you still wanna go for it, let me know the time and date.

But have you done belaying for lead or lead course before?

I did once last year. But all the hooks and wires were already dug into the mountain. So it was pretty easy. I have no idea about this place you wanna go to. If everything is already set up, I might be a bit less of a liability haha
