    Another shot of the un-numbered point (the middle formation).  The point to the right is likely 5234 (although the summit might be hidden).
    Telephoto shot of the two clefts mentioned previously.  The possible pour-off / chockstone in the main cleft is visible.  In the same cleft there is a southern branch (to climber's left) which is completely hidden in this image, but looks possible on Google Earth.  The narrow cleft to the left doesn't look anymore possible here than in the previous images, but it just calls me!
    Jack's Pass from the east, above Dominguez Spring on the SW slopes of Dominguez Mountain.  Just below the pass to the left is a visible scree slope.  The "trail" mentioned previously crosses that scree slope at it's bottom and actually makes 1 or two switch backs there.  It then angles down and left crossing the open slopes above the redish cliffs in the middle of the image and continues down across the slopes further left.  We lost it in that region.  The prominent point at the right is point 5030.
