Nathan Phillips completes "Beautiful Mind" 8C/V15

Climber Nathan Phillips became the second person to complete the ascent of Beautiful Mind, rated 8C/V15, in the Peak District National Park in the UK.

Phillips posted the following on his Instagram:

"Unbelievably excited to have climbed this monster today!

I wasn't sure if I was going to make it today, so hanging on to the holds at the finish was an incredible surprise.

This problem links the beginning of Trance 8C/V15, which I climbed in June, with the hard problem of Dandelion Mind 8B+/V14. It's definitely harder than Trance . It took me 14 sessions to get this problem done after Trance, but it's really exciting to think that I've only just started climbing the hardest boulders now that I'm over 30 years old.
This is not the end..."
