Operation Marne Torch refers to two operations launched by Coalition forces in 2007 against al-Qaeda in Iraq in the Arab Jabour area of Babil province. This campaign is named after Operation Torch, the joint US/British invasion of French North Africa in 1942, presumably because of the two operations' similar thrust in to the enemies southern underbelly. The first operation, Marne Torch I began on 16 June 2007, when Multinational Division Central launched offensive operations against Sunni and Shi'ia extremists, as well as insurgents with Iranian influence in the city and surrounding regions of Arab Jabour in Babil province. The action was intended to clear terrorist sanctuaries southeast of Baghdad as well as reduce the flow of accelerants into that city by both combat and civil-military operations. 2000 coalition and 1000 Iraqi army soldiers disrupted insurgent operations by capturing, seizing, and clearing caches that support instability in the area. Marne Torch II was launched on 15 September 2007 in the Hawr Rajab area. Supported by a newly created Sons Of Iraq group from Arab Jabour, Coalition forces continued their push along the west bank of the Tigris river, killing or capturing 250 insurgents, destroying 12 boats being used by the insurgents to funnel weapons into Baghdad, and uncovering 40 weapons caches, often with tips from the Sons of Iraq. | Event | SocietalEvent | MilitaryConflict |

1727 Mette, provisional designation 1965 BA, is a stony, binary asteroid and Mars-crosser from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, about 9 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by English astronomer David Andrews at Boyden Observatory near Bloemfontein in Free State, South Africa on 25 January 1965. The S-type asteroid is a member of the Hungaria family, which form the innermost dense concentration of asteroids in the Solar System. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.7–2.0 AU once every two and a half years (922 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.10 and is significantly tilted by 23 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has been observed numerous times with light-curve analysis indicating a moderately elongated body and rendering a rotation period of close to 3 hours. The body has an assumed geometric albedo of 0.20, typical for stony asteroids. Being a Mars-crosser, it will make a relatively close approach to Mars on April 15, 2023, when it will pass near the Red Planet at a distance of less than 0.08 AU, or 12 million kilometers. In 2013, a satellite orbiting the asteroid was discovered. The moon measures about 2 kilometers in diameter and orbits Mette once every 20 hours and 59 minutes. There are several hundreds of asteroids known to have satellites (also see Category:Binary asteroids). The minor planet was named by the discoverer after his wife, Mette Andrews for her comprehension of his nocturnal working hours and absence from home. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

Clifton Park Center, formerly known as the Clifton Country Mall, is a large retail center, located just off Interstate 87 Exit 9 in Clifton Park, New York. Acquired in the spring of 2006 by DCG Development, a Clifton Park-based development firm, the mall features over 70 stores and a food court. Clifton Country Mall opened in 1976 with JC Penney, The Carl Company and A&P as the mall's three anchor stores. In 1984, the mall was expanded, bringing in Caldor as a fourth anchor. This expansion also gave the mall a food court and movie theater. In 1979, A&P closed and its empty space was converted into a Price Chopper and a CVS, then into Steinbach in 1991. Also in 1991, The Carl Company closed and its empty space was converted into the mall's present day Marshalls Megastore/HomeGoods. In 2000, the mall was given a new white marble exterior (replacing its original pink exterior) and its name was changed from Clifton Country Mall to Clifton Park Center. After Steinbach and Caldor closed in 1999, the mall was only left with two anchor stores. After Boscov's opened its first Capital District store at Colonie Center, Clifton Park town officials convinced Boscov's to open a second Capital District store at Clifton Park Center, rather than at Wilton Mall. The former Caldor was demolished and in its place, a two-story Boscov's was constructed, which opened in November 2000, becoming the mall's third current anchor store. In April 2006, the mall was purchased by DCG Development, a Clifton Park-based development firm. The new developers demolished the mall's northern section (everything north of Marshalls), converting the area into a lifestyle section, consisting of outdoor storefronts, each with individual entrances. The demolitions left both JC Penney and the former Steinbach as stand-alone buildings, separated from the rest of the mall. In August 2009, the former Steinbach was demolished and converted into a stand-alone lifestyle building, consisting of outdoor storefronts with individual entrances. In 2011, the mall's original movie theater and its surrounding area was demolished and replaced with a new “state of the art” 10 screen Regal Cinema and a five-story Hilton Garden Inn. | Place | Building | ShoppingMall |

Marcel Paquet (21 February 1947 – 22 November 2014) was a Belgian philosopher.The most important influences on his thought were Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Michel Foucault. Paquet rejected all forms of Idealism in favor of the sensory world. Insofar as he considered human beings to be no more than fragments of nature, thought was considered by him to be the result of cerebral processes which operate largely beneath the level of consciousness. He insisted on the pre-eminence of the body and the fact that, for this reasons, consciousness observes the results of thought, but does not bring them into being. Inspired by Nietzsche's notion of Eternal Recurrence - which Paquet treated not as a doctrine but an operational principle, that is as a means of disentangling ourselves from secondary aspects of our identity (determined by cultural, religious and moral factors) in order to recover our primary nature - he considered a return to the body as the sole ethical value. He developed this Spinozan theme in a number of different directions: ontology (L'enjeu de la philosophie, Platon: l’éternel retour de la liberté), political philosophy (Nous autres Européens, Le Fascisme Blanc) and esthetics, the latter in particular in relation to painting which he defined as the art of rendering the sensory visible. He is the author of a large number of essays consecrated to visual artists whom he knew personally: Jean Dubuffet, Alexander Calder, André Masson, René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Fernando Botero, Sophia Vari, Corneille (one of the six founders of the Cobra movement), Bram Bogart, Anna Wilczynska-Wilska, Amann... He is also the author of several philosophical novels, namely : Renaissance sécondaire, Merde à Jésus, L’affaire Socrate, Marie et les Jean.

Sibirocosa alpina is a species of wolf spider only known from the Almaty area of Kazakhstan. This species, only known from two female specimens, was placed in Sibirocosa on the basis of similarities in the genitalia. The authors who described the species admit its placement in this genus is possibly problematic due to morphological differences and especially as its known range is 2,500 km (1,553 mi) from the nearest presumed congener in Siberia, S. sibirica. The correct placement of this species should become clearer once the male has been found and described. This spider has a body length of up to 5.75 mm and has shorter legs than other Sibirocosa species. It is distinctively marked: the front of the cephalothorax (where the eyes are located) is black with two longitudinal brown stripes; the carapace is brown with paler stripes; the abdomen is blackish with a broad brown stripe down the middle. The legs have pale rings and differ from other Sibirocosa species by having a smaller number (3 vs. 4) of ventral tibial spines. | Species | Animal | Arachnid |

The Geary Street, Park and Ocean Railway was one of the first cable car operators in San Francisco. Operation commenced in 1880, and the route soon proved quite popular. The line was purchased by the Market Street Railway in 1887. In 1912, the city declined to renew the franchise and instead took over operation of the Geary Street railway. The line was converted into an electric streetcar line, forming the first element of the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni) that was to come to be synonymous with transit in that city. Muni replaced the street cars with motor coaches in 1956. Today, the bus routes that serve the Geary corridor are the most heavily used in San Francisco. | Agent | Organisation | PublicTransitSystem |

Sheppard was born in Edgefield County and attended Bethel Academy in Edgefield. Upon graduating from Furman University with a law degree, he was admitted to the bar in 1871. He was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1876 and became the Speaker of the House when his father-in-law, William Henry Wallace, resigned as Speaker to accept an open circuit judgeship. He had been a strong supporter of Martin Witherspoon Gary in his gubernatorial campaign of 1880 which got him noticed by those opposed to the Conservative wing of the state Democratic party. In 1882, Sheppard was placed on the Democratic statewide ticket for the post of Lieutenant Governor and easily won election and reelection in 1884. When Hugh Smith Thompson resigned on July 10, 1886, to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Sheppard succeeded to the governorship. In the nomination battle to be the Democratic nominee for governor in the election of 1886, he was promoted by Ben Tillman and the News and Courier. Tillman tried to force the delegates of the Farmers' Association to support Sheppard at the Democratic Convention, but they refused and instead John Peter Richardson III emerged as the nominee for governor. After leaving the governorship on November 30, 1886, Sheppard became president of the Edgefield Bank of South Carolina. He was mentioned as a potential candidate for governor in 1890, but Tillman had rigged the Democratic convention to force his nomination for governor. Sheppard remained active in South Carolina politics and participated at the constitutional convention of 1895. He was elected three years later in 1898 to the South Carolina Senate and served until 1904. In 1908, Sheppard was the president of the South Carolina Bar Association and was member of the state Senate for a second time from 1919 to 1920. On October 7, 1931, Sheppard died and was buried at Willowbrook Cemetery in Edgefield. | Agent | Politician | Governor |

The Popovo Lake (Bulgarian: Попово езеро) is the largest of the eleven Popovi Lakes. The lake and its vicinity is among the most popular places for summer tourism in the Pirin National Park. The lake is situated at the bottom of the Popovski cirque and is surrounded by the peaks Sivriya, Dzhano, Kralev dvor, Momin dvor and Dzhengal. The lake is the largest and the deepest in Pirin, and has the largest volume as well. Its surface area is 123,600 m², which makes it fourth in Bulgaria by total area; it is 29.5 metres deep, which is second in the country after the Okoto lake in Rila; it is 480 m long and 336 m wide. Is volume is around 1,270,000 m³. The lake is situated at an altitude of 2,234 m. It takes water from rainfall, snowfall and two tiny springs which pour into the southern end of the lake. The biggest amount of water can be observed in the late spring, which is due to melting of the snow on the surrounding peaks. The water pours out of the lake with a small steep stream which goes to the seven Fish Popovski Lakes in the lower parts of the cirque. Thus one of the main tributaries of the Mesta river is created. The area around the lake is dotted with meadows and pine-scrub. In Bulgarian the name of the lake literary means the Lake of the Priest. There are two legends about it origin. According to the more popular one, a priest threw himself into the water because the Turks had violated his daughter. His cap surfaced and made the little islet in the middle of the lake. The other legend suggests that after the Christianization of Bulgaria in the 9th century, a priest decided to climb the Pirin mountain and expel the Slavic god Perun. He found him but Perun was enraged by his audacity and threw him into the lake. Again, his cap emerged from the water and formed the islet. | Place | BodyOfWater | Lake |

Jamuna River (Bengali: যমুনা নদী) is a tributary of the Ichamati River. It flows through the Indian state of West Bengal and is one of the major rivers of the North 24 Parganas district. Till the 17th century, the Jamuna originated as a distributary of the Hooghly River separating from it near Tribeni, along with the Saraswati River , hence giving the town its name. Unlike the Saraswati that flowed southwest from Tribeni, the Jamuna used to flow eastwards, along the northern borders of the present day town of Kalyani and the region around the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata, in the Nadia district, then enter the North 24 Parganas district and finally merge with the Ichamati River. From the 18th century onwards, the Padma river emerged as the main distributary of the Ganga. Reduction of the waters in the Hooghly and silting up of the upper reaches of the Jamuna, resulted in it being totally cut off from the Hooghly river. The Jamuna is now an independent rain fed channel that emerges east of the Haringhata region in Nadia district and empties itself into the Ichamati river. | Place | Stream | River |

James Sloan Baumer (January 29, 1931 – July 8, 1996) was an American professional baseball player, scout, and front office executive. A right-handed-hitting infielder born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Baumer was a graduate of Broken Arrow Senior High. During his active career, he stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg). Baumer had a highly unusual Major League playing career. After reaching the Majors at age 18 with the 1949 Chicago White Sox, Baumer hit .400 (four hits in 10 at bats, including a double and a triple). He then returned to the minor leagues and would not return to MLB until, as a 30-year-old, he had a brief trial with the 1961 Cincinnati Reds. Baumer appeared in ten of Cincinnati's first 13 games, eight as the Reds' starting second baseman, but collected only three singles and batted .125. The day of his last MLB game, April 27, 1961, the Reds acquired second baseman Don Blasingame in a trade with the San Francisco Giants. Baumer was traded to the Detroit Tigers for first baseman Dick Gernert on May 10, and returned to the minor leagues. Overall, Baumer batted .206 in 18 MLB games and 34 at bats, with two runs batted in. After his big league career, Baumer played for the Nishitetsu Lions in Japan from 1963 until 1967. When his playing career ended, Baumer became a scout with the Houston Astros and Milwaukee Brewers, and was promoted to Milwaukee's director of scouting in 1974. The following season, he succeeded Jim Wilson as the Brewers' general manager. Baumer's most successful transaction during his three-year tenure as GM was his acquisition of first baseman Cecil Cooper from the Boston Red Sox following the 1976 season. However, the Brewers struggled on the field, and after their eighth straight losing season in Milwaukee in 1977, Baumer was fired and replaced by Harry Dalton. He then joined the Philadelphia Phillies as a scout, and was promoted to director of the Phils' scouting and farm system operations in 1981. Two laters later, Baumer was named a team vice president. His role diminished after a front-office purge in 1988, but he remained with the Phillies as an area scout. Baumer died at age 65 in the Philadelphia suburb of Paoli, Pennsylvania. | Agent | Athlete | BaseballPlayer |

Ubaldo Matildo Fillol (locally: [uˈβaldo maˈtildo fiˈʒol]; born 21 July 1950), nicknamed el Pato (in English: \"the Duck\"), is an Argentine football coach and former goalkeeper. He took part in the 1974, 1978 (where he won the championship with his team and was voted Best Goalkeeper) and 1982 World Cups representing the Argentine national team. He also played in the South American qualifiers for the 1986 World Cup, but he was finally not chosen for the final team that played (and won) in Mexico. He is usually considered to be one of the greatest Latin American keepers. In 1977 Fillol was awarded the Footballer of the Year of Argentina award, being the first goalkeeper ever to receive the distinction. At the 1978 World Cup, Fillol wore the number 5 jersey, instead of 1 which is the standard for goalkeepers. This happened because Argentina, at that time, gave players their numbers alphabetically. The number 1 jersey was worn by Norberto Alonso. For the same reason, Fillol wore the number 7 jersey at the 1982 tournament while Osvaldo Ardiles wore the number 1. This practice was last permitted in 1986. | Agent | SportsManager | SoccerManager |

The Lamborghini V8 is a ninety degree (90°) V8 petrol engine designed by Lamborghini in the 1970s for their less-expensive vehicles. It was only the second internal combustion engine ever developed by the company, and first saw production for the 1971 Lamborghini Urraco. It was designed by Gian Paolo Dallara. The all-aluminium alloy engine was introduced as a 2.5 litre variant, displacing 2,463 cubic centimetres (150.3 cu in), but was expanded, by increasing the piston stroke to a 3.0 litre variant for 1975 - now displacing 2,997 cubic centimetres (182.9 cu in). A 2.0 litre reduced stroke version was also introduced in 1975 for sale in Italy, displacing 1,994 cubic centimetres (121.7 cu in), because of Italian legislation which imposed punitive taxes on cars whose engines displaced more than 2.0 litres. This V8 engine was also used in two other models, the Lamborghini Silhouette in 1976-1977 in which it kept the 3.0 litre displacement, and the slightly updated replacement in 1982, the Lamborghini Jalpa, which saw the engine increased in size to 3.5 litres, displacing 3,485 cubic centimetres (212.7 cu in), for ease in meeting ever-tighter emissions requirements. | Device | Engine | AutomobileEngine |

Clavaria is a genus of fungi in the family Clavariaceae. Species of Clavaria produce basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that are either cylindrical to club-shaped or branched and coral-like. They are often grouped with similar-looking species from other genera, when they are collectively known as the clavarioid fungi. All Clavaria species are terrestrial and most (if not all) are believed to be saprotrophic (decomposing dead plant material). In Europe, they are typical of old, mossy, unimproved grassland. In North America and elsewhere, they are more commonly found in woodlands. | Species | Eukaryote | Fungus |

The Russo-Persian War of 1826–28 was the last major military conflict between the Russian and Persian empires. After the Treaty of Gulistan that concluded the previous Russo-Persian War in 1813, peace reigned in the Caucasus for thirteen years. However, Fath 'Ali Shah, constantly in need of foreign subsidies, relied on the advice of British agents, who pressed him to reconquer the territories lost to Russia and pledged their support for military action. The matter was decided upon in spring 1826, when a bellicose party of Abbas Mirza prevailed in Tehran and the Russian minister, Aleksandr Sergeyevich Menshikov, was placed under house arrest. The war ended in 1828 following the occupation of Tabriz. The war had even more disastrous results for Persia than the 1804-1813 war, as the ensuing Treaty of Turkmenchay stripped Persia of its last remaining territories in the Caucasus, which comprised all of modern Armenia, the southern remainder of modern Azerbaijan, and modern Igdir in Turkey. Through the Gulistan and Turkmenchay treaties Persia lost all of its territories in the Caucasus to Russia. These territories had once extended throughout most of Transcaucasia and part of the North Caucasus. The war marked the end of the era of the Russo-Persian Wars, with Russia now being the unquestioned dominant power in the Caucasus. Persia (Iran) was forced to cede swaths of territories that it never regained. The conquered territories spent more than 160 years under Russian domination before establishing their independence, except Dagestan, which is still a Russian possession. In 1991, through the dissolution of the USSR, the modern states of Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia were established from the bulk of the South Caucasus territories that had come under the dominion of Russia by 1828. As a direct result of the Gulistan and Turkmenchay treaties arising from the two Russo-Persian Wars of the 19th century, the Azerbaijanis and Talysh people are divided between two nations (Azerbaijan and Iran). | Event | SocietalEvent | MilitaryConflict |

The Salza (also Mariazeller Salza) is an eastern tributary of the Enns. It originates on the Traisenberg in Lower Austria and flows South of Mariazell through the Styrian nature preserve of Wildalpener Salzatal. After 88 km, it meets the Enns around Großreifling. Below the town of Weichselboden is the Prescenyklause, which was constructed with a weir (a small dam) for a saw mill in 1848. Today the water of the reservoir is used to power a small electric power plant. Downstream from the reservoir, the Salza is a favorite site for kayakers. Many sources and tiny tributaries feed into the Salza and their water is used for the Viennese water supply. | Place | Stream | River |

The Alligatorfish (Aspidophoroides monopterygius, also known commonly as the Aleutian alligatorfish and the Atlantic alligatorfish) is a fish in the family Agonidae (poachers). It was described by Marcus Elieser Bloch in 1786. It is a marine, temperate water-dwelling fish which is known from the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, including western Greenland; Labrador, Canada; and Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA. It dwells at a depth range of 0-695 metres, most often around 60-150 m, and inhabits sand and mud bottoms mostly on the lower continental shelf all year. It prefers a temperature range of -1.07 to 2.52°C. Males can reach a maximum total length of 22 centimetres, but more commonly reach a TL of 14.2 cm. The Alligatorfish is preyed on by the Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) and the Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis). Its own diet consists primarily of benthic crustaceans and bottom fauna. | Species | Animal | Fish |
The Heart of Juliet Jones was an American comic strip series created by Stan Drake in 1953. The strip was a soap opera, following the prototype set by Mary Worth but elevated by Drake's exceptional artwork. The figure drawing was characterized by Drake's pioneering use of naturalistic movement and expression, a style he achieved partly through the use of Polaroid photographic reference. | Work | Comic | ComicStrip |

The New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) is a 13-team collegiate summer baseball league founded in 1993 and sanctioned by the NCAA and Major League Baseball. Each NECBL team plays an eight-week, 44-game schedule during June and July, with a playoff in early August. Like the Cape Cod Baseball League and other amateur leagues, the NECBL is a showcase for top college-level players, giving professional baseball scouts a chance to see prospective pros playing against each other. Along with the Cape Cod Baseball League, Northwoods League, and Coastal Plain League, it is considered one of the top summer leagues in the country and is a part of the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball. Founded in 1993, the NECBL began its direction under George Foster, former Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets All-Star and Major League Baseball home run leader, and Emmy Award-winning television producer/director Joseph Consentino. Play started in 1994 and today the NECBL has become a strong twelve-team league that plays in all six New England states. It recruits players attending U.S. colleges from New England, the other 44 states, and foreign countries, provided that they come from NCAA-sanctioned colleges or universities, are in good academic standing, have completed at least one year of athletic eligibility, and have at least one year of eligibility remaining. The NECBL became a 13-team league in 2013 with the addition of teams in Rhode Island (Ocean State Waves), Massachusetts (Plymouth Pilgrims) and New York (Saratoga Brigade) (the league's first team to operate outside New England), but reverted to 12 teams after the Brigade folded. On October 30, 2015, the league announced the formation of an expansion franchise based in Hartford, Vermont that would begin play in 2016, bringing the league size back up to 13 teams. The NECBL's current commissioner is Sean McGrath, former general manager of the North Adams SteepleCats. McGrath replaced Mario Tiani, who retired following the 2012 season. | Agent | SportsLeague | BaseballLeague |
Tucker v. Masser, 113 U.S. 203 (1885), was an action of ejectment for the possession of three lots in what is known as Stevens' and Leiter's subdivision of the City of Leadville, in Lake county, Colorado. The court found that this case for a placer mining claim composed of distinct mining locations some of which were made after 1870 and together embracing over one hundred and 60 acres (240,000 m2) is valid. Smelting Co. v. Kemp, 104 U.S. 636 (1881), was carefully considered, and was again affirmed. | UnitOfWork | LegalCase | SupremeCourtOfTheUnitedStatesCase |

The Republican Party, also commonly called the GOP (for \"Grand Old Party\"), is one of the world's oldest extant political parties. It is the second oldest existing political party in the United States after its primary rival, the Democratic Party. It emerged in 1854 to combat the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which threatened to extend slavery into the territories, and to promote more vigorous modernization of the economy. The Party had almost no presence in the South, but by 1858 in the North it had enlisted former Whigs and former Free Soil Democrats to form majorities in nearly every Northern state. With its election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, and its success in guiding the Union to victory and abolishing slavery, the party came to dominate the national political scene until 1932. The Republican Party was based on northern white Protestants, businessmen, small business owners, professionals, factory workers, farmers, and African Americans. It was pro-business, supporting banks, the gold standard, railroads, and high tariffs to protect factory workers and grow industry faster. Under William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, it emphasized an expansive foreign policy. The GOP lost its majorities during the Great Depression (1929–1940). Instead, the Democrats under Franklin D. Roosevelt formed a winning \"New Deal\" coalition, which was dominant from 1932 through 1964. That coalition collapsed in the mid-1960s, partly because of white Southern Democrats' disaffection with passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Republicans won five of the six presidential elections from 1968 to 1988, with Ronald Reagan as the party's iconic conservative hero. From 1992 to 2012, the Republican candidate has been elected to the White House in only two of the six presidential elections—and only in one out of those six elections, in 2004, did he win the popular vote. The GOP expanded its base throughout the South after 1968 (excepting 1976), largely due to its strength among socially conservative white Evangelical Protestants and traditionalist Roman Catholics. As white Democrats in the South lost dominance of the Democratic Party once U.S. courts declared the Democratic White Primary elections unconstitutional, the region began more taking on the two-party apparatus which characterized most of the nation. The Republican Party's transforming leader by 1980 was Reagan, whose conservative policies called for reduced government spending and regulation, lower taxes, and a strong anti-Soviet foreign policy. His influence upon the party persists, as nearly every GOP speaker still reveres him. Social scientists Theodore Caplow et al. argue, \"The Republican party, nationally, moved from right-center toward the center in the 1940s and 1950s, then moved right again in the 1970s and 1980s.\" | Agent | Organisation | PoliticalParty |
The Mummy Range (elevation approximately 13,000 ft) is a mountain range in the Rocky Mountains of northern Colorado in the United States. The range is a short subrange of the Front Range located in southwestern Larimer County northwest of the town of Estes Park. It is located largely within Rocky Mountain National Park, extending north from Trail Ridge Road approximately 15 miles (24 km). Prominent peaks in the range include Hagues Peak, Ypsilon Mountain, Mummy Mountain, and Mount Chiquita. These peaks are easily accessible via the Lawn Lake trail leading to \"the Saddle\" between Hagues Peak and Fairchild Mountain and, on the southwestern end, the Chapin Pass trail from the Fall River road. Some offer reasonably challenging technical routes but all can be ascended by steep hiking and mild scrambling after snow melt. | Place | NaturalPlace | MountainRange |
