Peak 6 of 8, did a variation of "Mummy Mania" we dubbed "Mummy Masochism" because we tacked 2 bushwhack 11ers on to the end. Appx 19 miles, 7000 vertical - climbed Chapin, Chiquita, Ypsilon, Fairchild, Hagues, Mummy, Tileston and Bighorn.
Mummy - Hagues - Fairchild Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2008
Hiked all three peaks in a day after a camp at the Lawn Lake backcountry campsite. Watched the sunrise while ascending Mummy. The summit provided a great view of the Roaring River and the erosion caused by the 1982 flood.
A long approach from Long Lake trail head and a fun steep tundra and talus scramble at the end! I met no one above tree line and had a wonderful mountain ascent in complete solitude.
With Eric Holle. Final summit of Mummy Mania trek. We were in a big hurry at this point to get to treeline before threatening clouds closed in. The aches of 14 miles completed and 6000 vertical feet began to set in. Reached the trees about the time hail began to fall. Long hike out to Lawn Lake TH was made easier with use of Advil. Chapin Pass to Lawn Lake Trailhead (6 summits) in 11.5 hours. Thanks to G. Roach for imagining and publishing this traverse idea. What a day!
Last (sixth) peak on the Mummy Mania tour. We summited at 3:50, ten hours after leaving Chapin Pass, and got back to the car just before sunset at 8:20.

Peak #6... sixth and final one... of our Mummy Mania traverse. Did this with pksander. Long, but fun day. The descent off of Mummy seemed especially brutal for some reason. This is a great trip, I'd definately do it again...

Climbed as the 6th and final peak of the day as part of the Mummy Mania traverse. This was probably the toughest 400' climb from a saddle in my life, as my legs were like rubber by this point. Beautiful mountain that lives up to its name.

Mummy is something of a butt-kicker five summits into Mummy Mania. The traverse from Hagues is slow with lots of rock-hopping, and the 500' climb to Mummy feels twice as long!
