“Upgrade U” FA by Alex Megos

Video of the first ascent of the boulder "Upgrade U" in the Frankenjura.

 

This project was found around 20 years ago and various climbers in the Frankenjura have attempted it.

I got the tip to try this from Mawi and once I found it, it took me around 10 days to do it, including a lot of beta changes up until the last day.

Doing it didn't feel too bad, after a tiny but very significant change in beta.

I still think though that 8C is an appropriate grade for it and I believe its the hardest boulder in the Frankenjura at the moment.

And yes, it is named after the Beyoncé song ;-)
