Mount Chapin
Mount Chapin (elevation 12,454 ft.) is part of the trilogy which makes up the southern part of the Mummy Range which extends north away from and to the right of the vantage point shown here. It is the smallest of the three peaks which also include Mount Chiquita (13,069 ft.) and Ypsilon Mountain , (13,514 ft.). Mt. Chapin is similar to the other peaks of the Mummy Range in that it has a steep south face with a gradually sloped northwestern side. The southern face, which is most visible here, is comprised of sheer cliffs and ledges which drop nearly 2,500 ft. to the Fall River below.
