INFO:

We are proud to present to you Tallinn Open 2016 route master - Rolands Rugens! In 2016 Rolands placed 4th in the bouldering World Cup in Innsbruck, 6th in Kazo and 14th in overall standings. No small achievement!
Besides being a really, really strong climber thanks to running his own gym in Riga Rolands knows, not only how to climb, but also how to set cool problems.

As on earlier years, Tallinn Open is expected to gather Estonian, Finnish, Latvian, Lithuanian and Russian climbers and this year we'll see if we can also get some Swedish climbers over to show their levitation skills :)
As Tallinn Open marks also the last competition in the 2016 Estonian Climbing Cup the stakes are high for those who have participate in the Estonian climbing cup.

Below are answers to all the questions that we could come up with. Should your question not be answered, please let us know! Most likely there are others wondering about the same thing.

Logistics for those coming from outside Tallinn:
- You can stay overnight very affordably at e.g. 16 Eur Hostel (16eur.ee) where a bed/night/person for a group of 6 costs 10 eur. If you are staying alone from Airbnb.com one can find apartments starting from 20 eur/night and Booking.com gives 58 results in the 0-50 eur/night price category.
- Should you wish to crash Sat-Sun night free of charge at Ronimisministeerium lounge that's also possible (pics at: http://www.visitestonia.com/en/multimedia/ronimisministeerium). Please drop us a note prior to your arrival if you wish to use this option.
- For those from Finland: By taking the 10:30 Tallink from Helsinki, you'll arrive at Ronimisministeerium at 13:00 sharp. Should you want return the same evening, the best option is the 19:30 Tallink. This would mean that you'll have enough time to climb but not to stay until the very end of the finals.

THE COMPETITION:
- We will have approximately 55 routes out of which 10 will be easier (same as last year).
- If there are more than 100 participants, the climbers will be divided into two groups. Tallinn based climbers will be placed in the morning group (starting at 9:00).
