Topo of route. Stretch the rope, use long draws and find belays where appropriate.

Pitch 2

Starting off on P3. Easy climbing (5.3) leads to the summit of the mummy buttress. We climbed the route on December 30, 2005. Probably the coldest climbing day I have ever experienced. Numb fingers makes 5.5 feel like 5.10!

View from the base of the Mummy - right by a large tree. Follow the crack up to the two person ledge and belay for pitch 2

This is the belay ledge at the top of the second pitch on The Mummy. It's no lunch ledge like on Jim Dandy but it is a very spacious ledge. We fit 4 people here and it wasn't even really crowded.

Nowhere better in the spring!
