Send and Create
Samuli Pekkanen, one of Finland's most diligent climbers, has found a home for his soul in the gorge valley of Korouoma and a canvas for an art form that very few know of. In Send and Create we see a first ascent of a mixed winter climbing route in the middle of the Arctic wilderness, as well as hear thoughts by the ascensionist about what are the gains, and losses, of living in the sharp end.
