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.
Photo showing the location of The Trough in relation to the whole rock. The route is outlined with a gray rectangle.
The final bit of friction to the top. With my friend taking crazy photo cues.
