Onsight ascent by:
Crazy Alice ugly big sister
I think this is very similar to Crazy Alice, but just ramped up a rank. The center crack going up-left does seem to require a hand jam to get moving, but after this I mainly used a compressed layback.

Second ascent by:
Nice Line
This is easy accept for the middle of that left leaning crack, feels big for hand jams but works somehow.

Red Point ascent by:
follow the line!
Have been meaning to return for the redpoint, for some time - and it was a fun one. Tried to exit up and right when the crack petered out, seeing a chalked up "jug" which turned out to be a major sucker-sloper, so downclimbed back and finished out the natural line. Those last few moves are fun & diff after all those nice, secure jams. I love this one, want to lead it with the alternate "roof start" which is probably considered part of another route . . . but it's a cool roof series down and right of the usual start - with the jugs followed by the roof crack moves . . . nice. I toproped that for a fun alternate start to dr. coolhead (I know - far away - nice long toe traverse to get over too the venerable doc) & dug it the most
b'lieve it or not, my first time on leap frog was on my second outdoor outing ever - and spivey talked me through the toprope of it. nice one spivey!
i'll give it "old school 5.9" rating, which means probably yosemite 10a
