Does anyone know why some the photos have been replaced by small boxes with an x in it?

A couple of photos of Bloody Mary. Not mine, nor am I climbing, but someone (Chiloe) asked for 'em:

(Sorry, I don't know how to post photos here.)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned FM. For a moderate, it's such a great, varied line.
And, I'll take the first pitch of Gamesmanship over Reppy's Crack any day.

FM is a great line. Fastest gun? The sting? Poko rules.
If Im not mistaken, Jello's entry in 50 favorites is a pok-o mixed line of his.

MtnZealot and KSolem, for some superb climbs on Wallface, check out this pair of posts, with lots of cool photos, on gunks.com. The Free Ride-Mental Blocks linkup is 15 pitches in a remote setting, three of which are 5.11 and six of which are 5.10. Mental Blocks has a C1 pitch that also goes free at 5.12.

Poke-o-moonshine is awesome! Catharsis and FM were my first two multipitch climbs. Definitely remember Gamesmanship as a classic. Back in college, when none of us had cars, we used to ride our bikes from Burlington, taking the Charlotte-Essex Ferry. Brutal stuff, riding our bikes to and from with full packs on, but it was worth it.

PS - it was always the "dacks" to me and everybody at UVM circa 1990, anyway.

That's quite a trip on a bicycle with a loaded pack! Talk about dedication.

Anyone know the origin of the name Poke-O-Moonshine?

Well, "poke" is an obsolete term for a small sack or even a pocket; a poke of moonshine is a sack of moonshine or perhaps just a bit in a flask in the pocket. I suppose that "poke of moonshine mountain" refers to a place where the stuff was regularly consumed and/or distilled.
