Watch Nathaniel Coleman Send New V16 in Utah

Nathaniel Coleman has made the first ascent of The Grand Illusion V16 with help from fellow crusher Drew Ruana. Coleman is one of four Americans qualified for the Tokyo Olympics.

The new problem is the sit start to Euro Roof V13 in Little Cottonwood Canyon first climbed by Chris Sharma. Coleman sent the longstanding project at 3 a.m. using headlamps for the best conditions. Watch below.

Halfway through the most mega project I’ve ever tried, the lowest possible start of Euro Roof. 30 feet of climbing through a 70 deg roof? temps are rising in SLC, hopefully some late night sessions can preserve the psych! ? @neilson.ben @thenorthface @scarpana @petzl_official @gnarlynutrition @frictionlabs
