Sean McColl and Mike Doyle Send Tom et Je Ris, Classic 5.14

Canadians Sean McColl, Mike Doyle and Vikki Weldon are currently climbing in Verdon, France. Over the past week, they have been busy exploring the Verdon. Together, the three senders climbed the 300-metre 5.12 called Alex, punk de Vergons. McColl was the first to send Tom et Je Ris 5.14a, followed a day later by his climbing coach Doyle.
Doyle wrote about Tom et Je Ris in his story Dream Routes, which was published in the current issue Gripped magazine. In the article, he said, “The first time I was exposed to Tom et Je Ris was when I saw a photo from Simon Carter of Monique Forestier reaching between perfect tufas, high above a forest.” Below are photos of Doyle, McColl and Weldon on the dream route.
