Steve McClure, 52, climbing Le Voyage (8b+) trad

Steve McClure sent Le Voyage (8b+) in Annot last month. "One of the best in the world. 8b+. Enough gear, but spaced and pumpy to place. It feels like a real adventure. 40m long too! Just a couple of days and first lead effort seems like my usual adopted style of only just getting it, with the odd section still barely worked out!" Here is the full 8a interview with the 52-year-old.
