The Daddy from the prow<br>

Top pitch of the Daddy. 4th or 5th pitch depending on how you climb the route.

Following the last pitch of The Daddy

One last victory call before the top out.

Start of P2 - The Daddy 5.6

Looking down the top pitch of the Daddy.

The Daddy. 5.6

Topo of route. Stretch the rope, use long draws and find belays where appropriate.

When you go off route....and end up at a hanging belay on a classic 5.6. Ahahaha!

Take a kid climbing. This is the first big multi pitch for my 12 year old son Ben. A strong indoor climber, he found the route a challenge.

Looking down from the third pitch of The Daddy

Just sended The Daddy on follow on my first trip to the Amphitheatre in my Merrell trail hikers. Forgot my shoes at the rack rock.

Looking South down the gorge from the top of The Daddy.

I take a little breather midway through leading the 5.8 variation on P3 of the Daddy. This is much nicer climbing than the easier zig-zag traverse alternative.
