"Jumping for Joy at 11,529’ above the sea! 9.3.2021~Mummy Mtn, Mannequin, Cockscomb & Fletcher, Spring Mountains, NV. 11.5 mile, 5,300’ gain, 6:41 hr CCW loop with a visit to Raintree (a 3000+ year old Bristlecone Pine) & Mummy Springs. I started up from Deer Creek Picnic area for the most direct East route to Mummy, climbing 3,200’ to the summit in 2:05 hrs. I hurled myself swiftly down the west side scree slope for an up and over extravaganza. I headed to Cockscomb Peak for my 1st go at the hardest ascent route to that peak. It was scary exposed ledges with loose rock and a class 3 climb on solid rock to avoid them. The return route was confusing, dangerous & creepy. The rest of the day was scampering trails to Fletcher, Raintree & Mummy Springs. I blazed down steep slopes to the finish. I consumed 90 oz’s of water, 200 cals of powder in my bottle, 3 double stuffed oreos, 3 cracker & a homemade gluten free meatball sammie. The temps are chilly now & the beginning stage of the aspens changing colors was lovely. I felt strong and free and made quick work of this activity. My Altra Timps served me well today." — paula.raimondi • Sep 3, 2021
