We are pleased to announce that Miles Adamson establishes Don’t Rock the Boatswain Extension (5.14b) adding a final hard pitch to the already established multi-pitch Don’t Rock the Boatswain in the Bow Valley, Alberta. With Miles on the send go was Alex Fricker, who was attempting to complete the original line. The line itself was first bolted by Miles Adamson and Zack Watson ground up.
According to Miles, the pitch is described as a ‘strange overhanging corner to a good rest, which leads to a brutal boulder (v11) on the roof’ also citing some serious exposure. Congratulations Miles!

Mason Earle has been driving force in the desert, and has spent many years searching the canyons of Utah for new routes. Over the past decade he has established some of the area’s most wicked climbs. This past spring Mason discovered an amazing unclimbed crack in a remote canyon seldom visited by climbers. This is the story of Ringlock Ranch.
