ABOUT US

Skip & Chip's Excellent Adventures started in 2012 with the summit of Mount Whitney.  This series has evolved into an annual traverse of North America's most challenging and beautiful terrain. Our alumni have completed missions in rugged endurance, from the iconic Cactus-to-Clouds to the Four Pass Loop, and beyond.  We are a community of dedicated, prepared adventurers who answer the call of the mountains on the first Weekend in August and beyond. 

A Personal Note From Chip Roame & The Disclaimer

The Skip & Chip Excellent Adventures began a dozen years ago with thirteen adventurous souls hiking up and down Mount Whitney in California, the highest peak in the lower 48 states. We never dreamed that a dozen years later we would have a 250+ person distribution list and 50-75 annual participants! As the group has grown, it is easy to see that individuals in our group have a wide variety of experience levels when it comes to backcountry travel. Skip is an expert. I was a rookie twelve years ago. Please be sure you have carefully thought about the personal risks of these adventures; Skip and I cannot be responsible for participants. By coming along, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own risk!!
