Leo Houlding started climbing when he was ten, in the Lake District. At the age of 18, he became the youngest person and first Briton to free climb El Capitan.

What lessons does he pass on to his children? Honest, raw and exhilarating, this is a 'warts-and-all' insight into the extreme life of one of Britain's best mountaineer adventurers.
