Miguel took this photo of me at the top of The Trough chimney in winter. 1989 Miguel Carmona photo.
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.
