 I drove west of Tramp Highpoint and went up, traversed to the benchmark, and traveled S to the more distinct "South Tramp." |
 View of Tramp HiPt from W. I went straight up, but going L would give an easier ascent. |

 View S as I get about 500' below HiPt |
 The direct route involved many near-vertical limestone walls. |
 Top of Tramp HiPt, view S to S Tramp. |

 Little Finland from Horse. |
 Register on Horse; looks like McLeod-Erb, didn't want to risk opening. |

 Got back to camp ~12:20. After waiting for 30 min, I decided to go up Gild Butte. Way I took up involved serious boulder-hopping, but convinced me the slabs on Jumbo would be dry |

 Scenery on way down |
 Next day was beautiful, if a bit cool, so we went to Jumbo |
 I took my secret tunnel route, then belayed folks up the slab. |
 The orange line is an extra handline; at left is the rap anchor. With this rap position, we could get away with 20m 8mm. |

 I'm body-anchoring a handline in the chute |
 I put the camera over the edge to see how folks were doing |
 Mark is near the end, I've thrown down handline. |
 Richard at the sneak-around on E side of mountain. |
 The 3 San Diego intrepids prepare to climb Packard Peak, and I will head down to my car. |
