Ascent Notes for: The Trough - 5.4 popular Average Rating : 3.31/5

.

Awesome, not hard, good exposure. Got stuck behind a party of three, so a little waiting involved. Led the crux pitch, clipped a couple of pitons for fun. my partner used some pretty cool bonzai pro on the last pitch. Great belays w/ tree anchors. Have fun!

Very low angle, but not a lot of holds. You have to use friction.

Me and Paul headed up this on Wednesday with great weather and not another soul in site. Great way to get back into the swing of things in Tahquitz, it's been far too long.

great first multipitch trad lead. very fun and long.

clear to go!

first date with my future wife, and didn't want smelly climbers shoes feet at dinner. Trailed a rope for her in my sneakers... set one hex and she couldn't get it out... stopped setting pro after that. lol She followed in "topsiders"... I seem to remember accidentally starting on "jam it" 5.7...

2X w/John

Did it in 3 pitches, first belay about 20-30ft above usual spot. 5.3 at best, a couple awkward moves, Perfect weather and friendly climbers to show us the friction descent.

First Multipitch trad route other than the Black Wall. Great frun, didn't feel exposure, Bruno was a great guide, alternated pitches, great granite, perfect weather, amazing day!
