The overhanging face at Owl's House is the spray wall of Nova Scotia bouldering. Ben's The Bridge was originally a detour when he was chasing the epic Kodiak. Kodiak surrendered to Ben back in 2014, then labeled the toughest track on Owl's House. Fast-forward to 2017, Seb strides in and tames Kodiak not once, but twice, in 45 swift minutes. Since then, The Bridge, once a side gig, now shines as the undisputed King Line on Owl's House face. Seb has attempted The Bridge for the last 6 years, but unlike Kodiak, a single yearly rendezvous proved insufficient. Finally aligning the stars, he managed a hat-trick of sessions, nailed the beta (thanks Patrick!), and voila! The Bridge was conquered on the first go, with fresh skin and muscles as relaxed as a hammock on a sunny day. Seb just made history as the first climber to champion every single line on the Owl's House face. Here's to life's sweetest victory dance! Cheers, Seb!
