Photo of The Trough, with lines drawn on it showing the route.
Alternate start: left side splitter crack and squeeze chimney. Approach from below, instead of traversing left from Jam Crack and Dave's Deviation. It's fun, adds 40+ feet of good splitter and a squeeze. It's not 5.4, but neither is the trough ;-)
Some dudes are on The Trough. Notice the large tree just right of them, and the one way above them at the skyline. Belay here.
The final bit of friction to the top. With my friend taking crazy photo cues.
