The first 11 pitches were established ground up by [Leo Houlding](/climber/574/leo-houlding), but when he reached El Cap Tower he couldn't find a way to continue. Almost 20 years later [Tommy Caldwell](/climber/551/tommy-caldwell) and [Alex Honnold](/climber/622/alex-honnold) worked out a line and took the route to the top of the crag, keeping Leo's original name. 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 [Tim Emmett](/climber/175/tim-emmett) when he worked as a sales rep. for [DMM](https://dmmwales.com/)) to the wall which could be used as a hold to pass the section. ### References [1] [https://www.climbing.com/people/first-ascent-passage-freedom-el-cap/](https://www.climbing.com/people/first-ascent-passage-freedom-el-cap/)

5.11c First climbed in 1959 by [Warren Harding](climber/871/warren-harding), [Glen Denny](climber/1413/glen-denny) and [Chuck Pratt](climber/1411/chuck-pratt) as the East Face of Washington Column. Although this ascent was mainly aided the Harding Slot - free climbed at a notional 5.9 - is still a considerable challenge for many despite its relatively low grade. ### References [1] [https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105845493/astroman](https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105845493/astroman)
