Second ascent.
An incredible ascent as Leo was extremely close to onsighting the entire route at a time when any free ascent on El Cap was notable. However, on the first pitch he grabbed a quickdraw at the end of a runout section on his first attempt before lowering back to the start of the pitch and reclimbing it. He also pulled on the first bolt of the second pitch to clean and inspect the holds on the hard section off the belay before then climbing it clean on his first attempt. [1]
