Hi, I'd like to known the first pitch of Moby Grape, the Reppy's Crack, is it a vertical wall or it is a little bit slabby section ? Thx

Reppys crack is indian creek on Oxycontin. Pretty low angle splitter. Somthing about the low angle really hurts your feet though :shock:

It is probably close to 70 degrees. There is a killer bolted 5.12 to the left of it on the face; smearing and edging.

In reply to: Reppys crack is indian creek on Oxycontin. Pretty low angle splitter. Somthing about the low angle really hurts your feet though :shock: Reppy's Crack hurts your feet and it's boring. The real Moby Grape first pitch, with its run-out start, double cracks, steep headwall and final splitter makes a much better pitch, for solid 5.8 leaders. 8^)

I am with Ambler on this one. Everyone should do Reppys once, just because it is so splitter, but it's like bubble gum; every chew is the same as the last. The original start is more in keeping with the variety of the upper pitches.

70 degrees sounds about right from what I remember. GO

I thought that Genaric Crack at the creek was an exact replica (different color) of reppys but on steroids :? seemed about 93 degrees at the last pod. I like doing reppys because you don't get much of a chance to climb that kind of stuff often here in the east.

Here's a tip: Show up on a crowded weekend, watch one party after another struggle up the only handcrack in NH, and climb quickly around them via the original start. I passed three parties one day like this, in one fell swoop. Woop!
