Jumbo (4x) and 3 other peaks in Gold Butte area, NV

I am addicted to seeing other people succeed. It rained heavily the 1st night, so we delayed Jumbo for a day until the lichen on the slabs dried out. Richard, Shelley and Mark went to Mica and Gold Butte Peak, while I went up Tramp Highpoint, Horse Benchmark, South Tramp, and Gold Butte. The next day we all went up Jumbo, and they headed on to Packard Peak/ Jumbo Springs Wild. HiPt. They continued on with many more goals.

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.	View to Jumbo	Benchmark near Horse
Little Finland from Horse.	Register on Horse; looks like McLeod-Erb, didn't want to risk opening.	Little Finland
Now I head to S Tramp		I'll hug E side of E ridge.

Descending
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		View of Jumbo from top of Gold Butte

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.	Top, view WNW
rapping down	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.
