Sean McColl’s versatility as a climber lets him win lead and bouldering world cups and send hard routes on real stone.

McColl is currently in Fontainebleau and reported yesterday that he sent The Traphouse V14.

“What an amazing day here in Fontainebleau, I sent The Traphouse V14 (8B+) in under an hour,” wrote McColl on his Facebook page. “I had never climbed on that roof before but the moves were really cool. A big thanks to Jeremy Bonder who showed me all the moves and gave me perfect beta.”

Paul Robinson claimed the first ascent of The Traphouse in 2011.  The route is a more direct finish to the Gourmandise roof.  It adds a V10 mantle to the V13 problem.

The Traphouse is the first problem in this video:
