The Mummy buttress
Starting up the Mummy
where I made the anchor at end of p1. note there is a bigger ledge 5 feet down but I liked the protection better at the one I am standing at.
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!
