Leaving the belay ledge at the top of the second pitch and approaching the "awkward" roof. The route continues up through the prominent right facing dihedral center left in the picture and the "finger of fate" can be seen just beyond and a tad to the left of the corner.

8/2/15 A crowded day on Moby Grape: 10 of the 12 climbers on the climb that day. The other two (of the 12) are lower. (see Finger of Fate telephoto) The "middle two" would exit up the left-facing dihedral (Kurt's Corner?) in the upper left of the photo. [Photo taken from Boise Rock]

Reppy's crack in all its glory, such a fun pitch.

The classic Reppy's crack butt shot... what a nice pitch though...

There are so many shots of the pitch but it never gets old. Reppy's is so good!

Mike happy to be jamming on Reppy's Crack...

For some reason the highway snaking through the notch always catches my eye.
