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!
