Description
Call Me Daddy is an uber-pumpy, Flatiron link-up that also adds new, hard climbing to the wall. Climb the neo-classic, Nephson, through its crux to the 8th bolt, clip the 8th bolt, and crimp traverse directly left for the route’s crux before joining Uncle Dad. Once you get to Uncle Dad, cop a quick shake before continuing on through its crux and to the top of the wall.
The new climbing that is added to the wall is the leftward crimp traverse after the 8th bolt of Nephson. The traversing crimp crux alone may only be around V7, but it’s after doing all of the hard climbing of Nephson without any rest, so the pump is real!
When climbing Nephson , I spotted this link-up and started working it. Vasya came out with me one day to check it out, quickly sending it in a few goes and called it 13d. Maybe it’s a slash grade, but I thought it was potentially 14a when I did it.
As always, props to Pinklebear for all of the hard work in developing the routes at this crag!
