Easy Routes in Frankenjura

Hi all, I'm visiting Frankenjura next week for the 2nd time with my girlfriend, who does not climb much, but wants to lead. Unfortunately, well protected easy routes are quite rare there... Can anyone recommend a crag in the shade, with good, easy, well-protected routes and some 7a-7bs? Thanks in advance Martin
Martin, this is the ultimate question of the FJ ! Generally the FJ is very well protected, except for some routes. I know that especially climbers in the lower grades do not always share this opinion. So if your girlfriend does not climb a lot and wants to lead, FJ might not be the best training ground. However its safe due to good bolts. Generally the requested grade range on one crag is rare and you can be sure that such crags will be always crowded. As the crags are usually just some minutes driving away from each other, it might be better to start the morning in one area and move in the afternoon to one with more difficult routes. However check Leupoldsteiner Wand, shade Betzensteiner Sportkletterwände, shade Schwarzbrennerei, shade Neue Heimat, shade Weissenstein, sun and extra crowded Schlossbergwände, mostly shade Have fun !
Ultimate question answered ;-) Thank you very much for your help! We'll check those out...
I just spend a couple of weeks in Frankenjura climbing mostly 7a-7b as you request, and I agree with Horss, however I was what wandering what grade-range the easier routes should be?
They should be in the 3-5c range.
