Peaks: Mummy Mountain (13,425'), Hagues Peak (13,560'), Fairchild Mountain (13,502'), Ypsilon Mountain (13,514'), Mount Chiquita (13,069'), Mount Chapin (12,454') Dates: October 4, 2015 Trailhead: Lawn Lake (8,540') - Rocky Mountain National Park Route: Counterclockwise loop beginning and ending at the Lawn Lake TH via Fall River Road Distance: 26 miles Elevation Gain: 9,100 feet Participants: Solo Mission Time: 13 hours (including a rain delay, snow delay, and a lot of gaping)
In a nutshell, this is basically taking Mummy Mania (or the Mummy Kill as it is often referred), removing the shuttle, and doing it backwards. If you're looking for a somewhat easier day, start at the Chapin Pass TH and have a vehicle and 6 pack waiting for you at the Lawn Lake TH. Otherwise, eat your Wheaties, start at the Lawn Lake TH, pack the headlamp, and leave a case of beer in the car.
Mummy Mania (noun): The standard route is a 16 to 18 mile traverse with ~ 6,000 vertical gain beginning at the Chapin Pass TH, continuing up and down 6 of the major summits in the Mummy Range (Chapin, Chiquita, Ypsilon, Fairchild, Hagues, and Mummy), and finishing at the Lawn Lake TH.
Doing it in reverse order: Add 3,000 vertical feet. Removing the car shuttle: Add 9 miles. Keep reading...
Dill, you are getting crazier all the time! I agree, forget the Wheaties, you better stock up on your Grandma’s cookies and ten bowls of chili!
I’ve done all those peaks, but on 4 different days! And I did 9000’ gain on one occasion, but that was over 20 years ago. I was hoping to hike with you someday, but think you’re getting way out of my league! Fantastic job, man!
Thanks! Appreciate the comments gang!! Great that you read it and even better to hear from ya’ll!
Brian – haha let me know when you wanna repeat south river!
DaveB – Nah man! This winter it’s on. Btw Mchenrys is still on my to do list if you didn’t notice haha. I’ll tell you about that one when you tell me about your 5.12c anniversary arrowhead route !
Dave – you the man. thanks as always!!
Andrew – coming from another Park guy, thanks man!
Otina – stay healthy! Was fun for sure. Let me know when you’re looking to repeat that Italian mtn. I’ll bring the sign. Summit photo for gram.

Jay – lame and jay521 should never even go in the same sentence! We really need a reunion soon. Hope you’re doing great!
Keri – haha I can’t believe you found this without me even telling you. Very impressive! I miss Parker. #FTB
Ben – my Fitbit may have almost exploded. If you ever write that cap report I’ll proofread it first if you want. Enjoy the Roch!
Doug – 10 bowls of chile and grams cookies. Now we’re talking! Haha. You know me well. Summer of 16, lets make it happen! I’m looking forward to it.
Papa Jason McHenrys Blyth – sloans lake haul and then joyride soon buddy. You me Becky taj – be there!
Templeton - thanks! No airplane required. Crazy, but the pics don’t even do it justice.
After all that vertical and mileage, to bother adding Chapin at the end when you know you could just start descending an already epic trip...that’s how you know he’s a machine.
Raj, Cougar, C–Shep – thanks for taking the time to read it! Big days in the Big park may be a little easier with 360 degree cloud inversions to get the adrenaline pumping.
Looks like a great tour, Dillon. You took some great shots too. I really like the Spectacle Lakes and Chiquita pics. Longs shots are pretty sweet too. I’m a little disappointed that you didn’t tack on the Rowes, but whatever.
j/k
Congrats on a huge day!
