8/2/15 The 2nd of the lowest party tackles the "Triangular Roof". Your submitter was one of the first climbers, if not the first, to climb this feature after the rockfall that changed "Conn Course". [Photo taken from Boise Rock]

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]

On the upper slabs.

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

Steve Arsenault leading Reppy's Crack, probably in the late 1960's or early 1970's, maybe even before there was a "Moby Grape", when it was an alternate start to "Conn Course" (from 8mm movie film)

Marvelous Madeline merrily mastering Moby's monstrous mancave!

The was my first time up moby grape and i took a variation (oops) to get to the roof on pitch 3... the part im on here felt about cannon 5.9 or 9+ but was very fun... the moderate way is to the left...

The view of MG from Vertigo. 7 out of the 12 climbers on MG are in view.

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

Yeah, it's solid. The Finger of Fate. Photo by Ron Long.

Starting up the Finger of Fate pitch.

Forgot my helmet. No the greatest. We were first on the route so at least we had that going for us. Even for a well traveled route there is a fair amount of loose rock.

Mike Thompson pulling the roof move... you can jam it or lay it back but few people can make it look good...

Roof crux.

Heading up pitch 6

Reppy's. A couple of dudes from tufts are doing yoga on the original first pitch.<br>
(it's not as steep as it used to be)

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.
