Mike Doyle sends another 8A+, The Mandala, Bishop, CA

Mike Doyle put on a show in Bishop sending The Mandala first go of the day on Saturday February 16 after numbing conditions 2 days prior prevented him from sending after linking the crux moves. Favorable conditions 2 days before that gave him a few tries to stick and then try to pull off the first crimp. Video footage, thanks to Karine Pellerin of Quebec, will be put on YouTube soon. This is Mike's 3rd 8A+ this month sending Right Martini and Luthor (the traverse into Chablanke) in Hueco Tanks earlier. Photo by Tomas Donoso
