The first 11 pitches were established ground up by Leo Houlding, but when he reached El Cap Tower he couldn't find a way to continue. Almost 20 years later Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold worked out a line and took the route to the top of the crag, keeping Leo's original name. Alex and Tommy apparently placed some bolts to protect parts of the run-out pitches Leo had climbed. [2] In an unusual quirk, on pitch 4 Leo was unable to find a way past a short blank section of wall. To make the route possible, in an aid bolt hole he bolted on an Alfa Romeo badge (which used to belong to a car owned by Tim Emmett when he worked as a sales rep. for DMM) to the wall which could be used as a hold to pass the section. Caldwell and Honnold were able to climb this free by a slightly different line. Many pitches free the aid route New Dawn (A2+).
