I just started reading Kiss or Kill by Mark Twight. One of the quotes in the foward is "It doesn't have to be fun to be fun." Mummy Mania was a lot like that ;-)
Nice page and great trip report. 6000feet, 16 miles is a real long way. We did a 14 mile, 5000 feet "hike" over two summits a month ago and that was more than enough!
