'Wirbeljet'

"Wirbeljet" is in my opinion one of the best 8B boulders in the Frankenjura. It's location is unique and nice. The holds and the rockquality convince. The moves are fun and it has an obvious start and top, which isn't self-evident in the Frankenjura. The icing on the cake: it's always shady and therefore guarantees good conditions even when it's sunny and warm. Overall a perfect spot for hard bouldering.

Flying Potato

This boulder should be one of the most unique spots you've seen for climbing. It's in the Frankenjura and there's only this one line to climb up the bloc. It's called 'Flying Potato' [fb 8A+] and was established by Andre Behr.

When you know other boulders that are as unique as this one, then write a comment down below. I'm pretty psyched to see what the world has to offer in this context!

Hips Don't Lie "Sit"

My ascent of 'Hips Don't Lie Sit' [fb 8B+/V14] took me longer than expected:

In early spring I tried the standstart for the first time and had a promising first session. A week later I tried it again and made a solid ascent. Therefore I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to add four moves which are around fb7C (in my opinion).

It turned out to be different! I don't know how many days I spent there overall. But I know that the last hard move to the undercling incut crimp was way harder from the ground than from the stand. I fell there over and over again. Maybe if you have a better endurance than I do, it doesn't feel too different. But I needed a lucky punch to link all the moves together.
