This crack eats .3 cams for breakfast lunch and dinner, higher is better and climbing is easier to the left and out of crack, you can rap off the block just below the flake and not leave gear, pulling rope is difficult tho, recomend pulling from p1 ledge

Sam following up the final, dihedral pitch that is the jewel of the route

The Daddy from the prow<br>

Start of P2 - The Daddy 5.6

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

Up the final pitch

View from on the wall

One last victory call before the top out.

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

Following the last pitch of The Daddy

Paul making his way up to the belay on pitch 4 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.

Pitch 1 with obvious belay ledge + alternative belay

Looking down the top pitch of the Daddy.

P1 belay and beginning of P2.

about to start p5

The Daddy. 5.6

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.

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.
