BETA PHOTO: The Trough, running up the prominent water streak ...
Description
At the center of the larger portion of the Big Rock face, lies a water streak. The Trough runs straight up this, via several bolts. Picnic tables for the area sit directly underneath. Crux comes after the first bolt, with the balance of the route having copious amounts of hand and feet holds. Generous bolts protect this fun climb.
Protection
8 bolts. Can be done in one stretch pitch with a long rope, or done in two with a 165' rope. Belay anchors are found midway, 3/4 the way, and at the top just left.

The midway anchor is gone, but the climb is easily done to the top in one pitch. This route seems to have gotten more slippery over the years and now seem harder than the nearby Africa Flake route.

I was there yesterday (2.21.06), and the midway anchor is there, and quite fresh I might add.
Very slipery, especially in the morning before the sun dries it off... There is usually a top-rope hanging from the bolt/rap station as this is a favorite with groups...
