Boatswain 2 is a four pitch 13c, that Zach Watson scoped out earlier this year in Canmore, AB. This is the first ascent.
He hiked over a huge amount of gear to the top of the wall alone in 2 or 3 trips, including my 200m Static line. Once we finally got the same weekend off in June, we bolted the line in 2 days. We then tried it sporadically over the course of the season (with Alex Fricker before he went back East) and just sent this Saturday.
During our first ascent, Zach sent the 13c pitch the first time he got through the bottom crux. He even flashed the last pitch after I worked out the moves.
I’m really happy to share what in a lot of ways is his line. Even though we’re a team I feel like he carried us super hard.
