Can you identify this fig?

I know the identity of all my fig trees, except one.  The fig I would like to identify was given to me as a cutting by my neighbor 10 years ago when I lived in a different place.  She had been growing hers espaliered on her fence for about 30 years.  At the time I got the cutting I was not into gardening like I am now, and didn't bother to ask her what it was.  I live in the Greater Seattle area.  I doubt that the fig is at all exotic, but I don't know my figs well enough to figure out what it is.  Here are some snapshots of the leaves and fruits.  The leaves are 3-to-5 lobed and are not very shiny...almost matte.  They are a medium green, rather than dark green.  The figs are golf ball size or a little larger.

Any guesses are greatly appreciated.  Thanks.








Looks like it's growing in a thicket of running bamboo.

It is next to a clumping bamboo, but otherwise gets good sun and is against a rock wall.  In answer to Alan's question, it grows pretty well, but it's somewhat leggy compared to all of my other figs.  Right now it's about 10' tall.  Here's a picture:
