Description:
A varied four pitch climb that goes to the highest point on the Leap. Follows the huge right facing corner just to the right of Traveller's Buttress. First pitch is in the corner. The second pitch sneaks out on the left face leading to the base of a chimeny. The third pitch climbs the chimeny, traverses 5.7 past a fixed piton, and then hops on a beautiful exposed arete. The fourth pitch is basic and can be avoided with a 60m rope.

:) 100th ascent on RC.com! Boo Yah!
FANTASTIC climb. The best one I did at the leap. Very exposed, and more or less well protected. (The arete wasn't as well protected as I was led to believe, but it was still O.K.) The traverse after the chimney was pretty awesome as well!

Great climb
Did it 20 years ago and finally got back to do it again. I forgot how airy the 2nd pitch is out on that arete. No way to protect the chimney moves well and if you did, the rope drag would be horrible. Just move thru and clip that old piton after you move around the corner.

I have to climb this one at least once a year. The best 5.7 I know of.
