Greg Boswel made the first dry tooling ascent of Powerdab at The Works, Lake District, Great Britain, to establish the UK’s second M13. Powerdab was bolted by Boswel and Paddy Cave last year at The Works, Lake District, and he’d already tried it a couple of times. 20 super-steep and very powerful metres climbing that Boswel graded M13, Britain’s second M13 after Frankenstein at Newtyle, also climbed by Boswel.
