Description
A shorter and lower angle piece of ice than other routes in the Amphitheater/Mummy area, Mummy I is a great place for instructing newer climbers, first leads, or simply getting in a few easy pitches. It is wide enough for 2-3 top ropes and has a comfortable base area.
Location
This climb can be approached two different ways:
- From the Amphitheater, take the trail beyond Fat Chance that heads towards Mummy II/Scepter. Just after entering the woods and crossing the creek, take a left off the main trail and drop down into the small open basin. Across the basin and over a small hill is the route, less than 5 minutes from Fat Chance.
- From the Hyalite Canyon trail, you can shortcut to the bottom of Mummy I and avoid walking all the way around the Amphitheater. Just after the normal winter "shortcut," look for a boot pack heading into the trees on the left. Follow this through the trees on a gradual uphill, which will lead you to the open basin just to the right of the climb. This can be a poor choice in deep snow.
