Nicholas Milburn Sends Paint it Black V15 in Colorado

Nicholas Milburn has sent Paint it Black V15 in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. The overhanging compression problem was first climbed by Daniel Woods in 2012 and has been repeated by Ian Dory, Paul Robinson, Dave Graham and Toru Nakajima.

After his send, he wrote on Instagram, “I just sent Paint it Black. The solo sesh worked out after all. Fortunately, I got that uncut, so there is proof. I was so surprised I sent that I had to watch the video to make sure it actually went down. Off to the Southeast for that sweet southern sandstone next.” As a Youth climber, Milburn was the USA Champion.
