DOH! Please don't leash him up outside! This can cause some nasty consequences.
Keep up with the work in crate training. It definitely isn't cruel and done right, he'll come to LOVE it and run in there anytime you ask. You've received some excellent excellent advice on how to do it. :)
Good luck, you'll be glad you worked through this.
