Leo Houlding Climbs Yosemite New Route

Overseas news in association with
Inghams

Top British climber Leo Houlding's been out in Yosemite doing some very respectably hard climbing, including the first ascent of the West Face of the Leaning Tower.

The Tower, dubbed the 'steepest face in North America' by Royal Robins, a man who knows a steep face when he sees one, is around 1000 feet high and difficult. Leo's first hand account of the climb is now up on the Berghaus site. Click here to take a look.

Oh, while you're at it, take a look at the latest Berghaus caption competition featuring a man who looks suspiciously like Alan Hinkes holding what looks suspiciously like a plastic parrot. Surely not... Cue millions of 'this parrot is deceased' entries.
