| If you belay at P1, a #3 and #4 camalot would be great for the belay, otherwise you will burn a bunch of TCU's. |

| It's possible to lead this in a single pitch as well. At least that way you won't have to make a belay and burn a bunch of gear. On the down side you're belayer might not be able to see you. I don't remember it being to hard to get good gear off the ledge. |
