This is one of the finest crack lines at the Leap. It is located in the center of the East Wall. It should not be hard to pick out, since it follows a continuous crack system for 400ft.
P1: This is the best pitch. Follow a straight in crack in a shallow LF dihedral for 130ft. The first 100ft are continuous, but rests can be found on dikes.
P2: Continue up the crack system which turns right facing. Belay before a roof.
P3: Short pitch. Climb the roof and descend to the left on a well marked trail.

This route can be easily completed in two pitches using a 60 meter rope. Once you've found the first belay stance immediately up and right of a roof system, it is about 185 feet to the top of the route. The rope drag on this second pitch is atrocious, and gets exciting pulling the final roof, so bring lots of slings.

I've done it in three pitches, and in two pitches, and I'd agree it is better to do it in two. The third pitch is short, and if you stop where I did for the second belay, the anchor isn't all that great. An old pin, a very thin nut (3 or 4 bd) and some junk cams.
