El Capitan. Back in 1998 Leo Houlding and Patch Hammond achieved something almost unthinkable – a near onsight ascent of El Capitan. They were just 18, had no big wall experience and headed to Yosemite without any great ambitions for the big faces.

In this second Factor Two podcast series, Wil Treasure continues to share stories from the climbing world through interviews with both well-known and lesser-known characters. In-depth, personal accounts that aren't read from a page on a variety of themes. Settle down with a cuppa and have a listen...

Brilliant stuff! Remember one of my climbing mentors talking about this when I started climbing. Brilliant to hear Leo talking about it.

It's the one with Jerry and Caff rather than Leo. The first episode. I was hoping to interview Leo for that one too but it didn't work out in time.

Great podcast. Be great to have one with a bit more detail of the north wales period also had . He mentions in this one about him and Patch regularly onsighting E7, quite a few got written up in the mags but pre UKC logbook days most wont be recorded so it would be great to get a detailed insight to it all and what was going down.

Superb podcast, nice insight to the time. I remember hearing a story of Leo falling out of a pub in N Wales and going to solo a 7b on the slate in the nude with only a rope tied to his rollocks. No idea where/how I heard this. I'm assuming that's next in the series so I look forward to hearing all about it.
