"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Standard RouteTotal ascents = 3. As long as you've done this one, you might as well do Chiquita & Ypsilon.

Route Climbed: Chapin Pass Date Climbed: June 18, 20051st peak of the day as part of the Mummy Mania traverse. There was still quite a bit of snow over the trail, so we basically bushwacked to treeline following the path of least resistance.

Route Climbed: Old Fall River Road Date Climbed: Sept 2002This was my first ever hike in Colorado. Having come from KS less than a week before, can you say: "NEED OXYGEN?!" Seriously, it kicked my butt from the get-go... my competitive drive kept me trekkin. We also summited Mount Chiquita and Ypsilon. The group started 20 strong, was 18 after Chapin, and was only 10 by the time we hit Ypilson. Yep, I wasn't the only one from SEA LEVEL in the crew! As I look back at this day, I laugh. I hiked in normal tennis shoes, and CARRIED (no pack) 2 nalgene bottles. Yep, I've come a LONG way baby! Enjoy it!

Route Climbed: From Chapin Pass Trailhead on Fall River Date Climbed: September 2004Have climbed Chapin twice - once 3 years ago and just recently on Mummy Mania. I have climbed it from both directions now - and that is probably enough. The last time I climbed it - went from Chiquita over to Chapin - this time was the reverse. Last time we had to get AJ's canteen off the summit of Chiquita before we could continue the hike.
