Leo Houlding

United Kingdom

British rock climber and alpinist — the first Briton to free-climb a new route on El Capitan, "The Prophet".

Leo Houlding (born 28 July 1980) is a British rock climber and mountaineer who began climbing at the age of 10. In 2010 he became the first Briton to free-climb a new route on El Capitan in Yosemite via "The Prophet", a decade-long project. He led the first ascent of Ulvetanna's northeast ridge (2012–2013) in Antarctica, joined the 2007 Altitude Everest Expedition that free-climbed the Second Step without fixed ladders, and in 2023 established "Loki's Mischief" on the east face of Mount Asgard, Baffin Island.
