Chumpie is a short, out-and-back mountain biking climb in Fairmount Park in Pennsylvania, about a third of a mile from the center of the park's network of riding routes. The route is rated moderate and totals 0.72 miles, with a climb of about 127 feet from a low point at 108 feet to a high point at 151 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.08 miles into the route, with a 6% grade, and the climb is roughly equal in both directions. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 68°F, while July averages reach 89°F and winter brings highs in the low 40s. The Trolley Trail and Kitchen Sink both sit about 0.1 mile away, and the Sampler is about 0.2 mile off, so it's easy to link Chumpie with other short rides. For climbing, the Martin Luther King Drive Twin Bridges area is about a mile away.
