Toru Nakajima reports on Facebook about his repeat of Paint it Black.

Yeeeeeees!!! I competed Paint it Black V15 early this morning! I got up at 4:30am and did it at 8:30am. I cannot believe what I'm able to do while this short trip. Of cause I'm happy to sent it, but I also happy to be able to come back to such a hard climb again. Thank you everyone, especially Jackie Hueftle and Chris Schulte for inviting me. Paint it Black登れました‼ 4日間、本日4回目のトライでした。やはり休止から完全には調子を戻せず、来る前から半ば諦めていましたが、結果として毎日少しずつ進歩してゆくという理想的なクライミングが出来たと思います。三年前のツアーで出来ていた課題が登れなくなっていたり何かと精神的に難しい場面が多かったのですが、最後は気持ちで押し切る事が出来ました。そのうちムービーが出るのでお楽しみに！
