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

The Daddy from the prow<br>
Start of P2 - The Daddy 5.6
View of the Prow and the gorge from base of pitch 4 of the daddy. Look carefully and you'll see two young ladies down low on this pic free soloing the Prow!
Topo of route. Stretch the rope, use long draws and find belays where appropriate.
View from on the wall
Up the final pitch
One last victory call before the top out.
Pitch 1 with obvious belay ledge + alternative belay
Top pitch of the Daddy. 4th or 5th pitch depending on how you climb the route.
P1 belay and beginning of P2.
Following the last pitch of The Daddy
This is the start of The Daddy. My first time in the Amphitheater I climbed Good Heavens thinking it was The Daddy. Have not seen a pic looking right up the start, so here it is.
