We had an AWESOME first weekend back after our honeymoon with Dill, who was in town for just a week! On Saturday, we mad an attempt on a full traverse of the Mummy Range in RMNP (known as “Mummy Mania” or “Mummy Kill”), and managed to tag four of the Mummies before lunch, after which we decided we had had enough Mummies for one day. Still managed to get in just over 20 mi, with (I think) around 5k of vert. Dill continues to impress us with her off-the-couch performances— total animal, and destroyed me and Dierker who consider ourselves in decent shape for such an outing. <3 I think we did car to car in a little under 10 hours. Crux of the day will not be mentioned, but let’s just say that both times we’ve attempted the Mummy, Fall River Road at the end has been the most nail-biting. We ended up at Ed’s at 8, so needless to say, the next day we did a super chill FKFA (first known flipflop ascent) to Gem Lake. Dill rocked a legit-but-super-painful sunburn. Thanks for an awesome weekend Dill!!!

And just a couple from the week…
