The Daddy from the prow<br>

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

The Daddy. 5.6

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

Free Solo: 23 minutes! Looking down the Route after the corner on the last Pitch!

Looking at the last pitch

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.
