Climbed shortly after the [Wall of Early Morning Light](/climb/4994/wall-of-early-morning-light) as an alternative way to gain the upper dihedrals on that route. The lower pitches are free climbed by [Passage to Freedom](/climb/2326/passage-to-freedom). Some of the upper pitches are free climbed by [The Dawn Wall](/climb/1718/the-dawn-wall).

Before
<p>The first 11 pitches were established ground up by <a href="/climber/574/leo-houlding">Leo Houlding</a>, but when he reached El Cap Tower he couldn't find a way to continue. Almost 20 years later <a href="/climber/551/tommy-caldwell">Tommy Caldwell</a> and <a href="/climber/622/alex-honnold">Alex Honnold</a> worked out a line and took the route to the top of the crag, keeping Leo's original name. </p>
<p>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 he bolted an Alfa Romeo badge (which used to belong to a car owned by <a href="/climber/175/tim-emmett">Tim Emmett</a> when he worked as a sales rep. for <a href="https://dmmwales.com/">DMM</a>) 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.</p>
