There are two membership classes. By becoming a full OKS member you’ll also become a member of Suomen Kiipeilyliitto (SKIL) and the respective European organization (UIAA), and you will also get extensive climbing insurance + Kiipeily-magazine. By becoming “light” member, you will not get the SKIL benefits (insurance, magazine) and will not be able to participate in OKS courses.
