Early on the 6th of October 2023 Alex Megos embarked on the somewhat crazy challenge of climbing 10 routes from 8b to 8c in 10 hours in his backyard, the Frankenjura, using an e-bike to get to each route. The lineup included "only old-school classics, from crimpy vertical to overhanging and pockety." The outcome is documented here, and in the German's words, "proves again, the Frankenjura is just the best area in the world for a casual training day ;-)"
