8c+ by Mike Doyle (37)

Mike Doyle has done his second 8c+, Necessary Evil in VRG and based on his scorecard we can see that the 28 year old is performing best ever. "With a good breeze it all came together. Unknown number of days but lots... I just want to thank all of you for your support, positive energy and good vibes. I truly felt it and it's the community that makes climbing such a unique lifestyle and why, as much as I try to get away from it, I will always be a climber. Of course the list of belayers is ridiculous. Thank you for coming out on the shitty condition days" Mike's first 8c+, was the FA of the classical test piece in Red River Gorge, Lucifer.
