"This route, modified Mummy Head to Toe, has seven registers to sign on it. The one that is not listed is Mummy Vista, just before Forehead. The Nostril route to the Nose is fun, challenging and time consuming. It can add about an hour to the overall time. You will gain nearly 1250 feet in the last 1/2 mile up to the the Nose. A lot of this route is for advanced scramblers only. You will be climbing walls and traversing a knife-edge. There are sections where you will be hundreds of feet up on the knife edge and it will be less than 2 feet wide....and crumbly. Yes, it will give you the adrenaline rush that you may be looking for. Be prepared for a 9-11 hour day to safely cover the 9.25 miles and 4700 feet of elevation gain. Over 50% of the gain is on the 1.5 mile approach to the Nose. This route is highly modified from the "standard" route that is known as Mummy Head to Toe. " — Heartattackbruce • Jul 29, 2023

"Finally felt like the snow has melted enough for the mummy traverse . I was 95% right , coming down mummy you can slide like 2-300 ft down through snow . I can’t imagine that snow is going anywhere anytime soon either , banks were still 6+ ft high I only brought 1L of water and was able to fill it up a couple times there are some real nice water sources along the way. Spooky corner is tame, coming down the forehead was the only real place I needed a couple minutes to figure out what to do , everything else was straightforward enough . More annoying steep sidehilling than I thought after the chin going to the tummy, but overall it was a good route . I rode my bike back to make it a loop. Also I’m no anatomy expert but why is the nose before the forehead ? " — joshortman • Jul 3, 2023

"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’, 2.5 miles 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 crackers & 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

"We took the standard route up Trail Canyon to North Loop Trail, then the scree slope. There was some snow at the top of the scree slope. We used micro spikes to ascend the class 2 chute, then descended the steeper class 3 chute. Fun day!" — Kevin • Apr 3, 2021

"Nice loop over the Mummy. Took North Loop to Mummy Springs, up to the Toe, over the Tummy and back down/up North Loop. Amazing fall colors out there by the scree slope on west side. " — DudeAlmighty • Sep 17, 2020

"8.12.2020~Mummy traverse CCW, this time faster, with vigor and laser focus. Solo. 9 miles, 5,000’ gain in 6:42hrs total. 2nd time in one week but this time using the harder class 3/4 route. It’s considered by most to be the hardest route in the Spring Mtns. It’s relentless climbing and scrambling at 11,000’ and extremely taxing with intense navigation. Some parts are terrifying so that drains me especially since I’m doing it alone and unroped. Most go in groups and with guides who prep ropes/belays, encourage one another along the way and follow the leader without having to route find. That’s a good and safe way but I feel more accomplished doing it on my own. ‘Twas hot with no wind. I drank 2 liters of water and only consumed one Luna bar, one bottle of Gatorade and one veggie burrito. I felt strong all day. I’m more proud of today than my 100 Charleston summits. Closing this chapter and moving on to the next epic projects. Weeeeeee!!!! https://youtu.be/TxbbD0OPRDg https://youtu.be/eIYw4NmMCdk https://youtu.be/k5SKBaZpodc" — paula.raimondi • Aug 12, 2020

"Mummy 5 Peak traverse Head to Toe, SOLO, Nose, Forehead, Chin, Tummy and Toe. 9 miles, 6,000’ gain, 8:11 hrs of Scampering, Scrambling and Climbing class 2-4 rock. Sure it’s safer, more comforting, more enjoyable with a friend, a club, a group, a spouse.....I don’t want it that way. I don’t want the comfort of another human to sooth my fears or assist me when I conquer big mountains and fill my day with lovely conversation. I want to be independent and self reliant. I want my own dark thoughts that battle my will, courage and drive to keep going forward. That’s what gives me satisfaction. Not sure many women (or people) have done this alone but I know I’m one of the very select few women that have. That gives me great pride. I only consumed one piece of crumb cake, a slice of pizza, bottle of Gatorade and 2.5 liters of water. https://youtu.be/hklsTA98hio" — paula.raimondi • Aug 5, 2020

"1.13.2020~Mummy Mtn #16~10 miles, 4,000’ gain, 6:05hrs, out and back from Echo lot, TC, NLT, scree slope, in snow conditions w/Karla. Used Ice Axe and crampons. With an 11am start, we had to keep a steady pace to beat the sunset on this Winter day. We were successful. Tough trek but very rewarding. The final ascent in the chute had terrific winds! But the summit wasn’t that windy. This chute was actually easier to ascend with snow than when it’s dry in the Summer. " — paula.raimondi • Jan 13, 2020

"Enjoyable trip via the most popular Trail Canyon/North Loop route. Scree slope tough otherwise easy hiking. No snow around. https://hikingtheworld.blog/2019/11/09/mummy-mountain-nevada/" — odescoeudres • Nov 8, 2019

"Parked at the meadows in Lee Canyon & hiked up what I call Foxee Ridge. This is a very steep, rough ridge with great views. Saw several feral horses & a cute fawn in the forest. From the top of Foxee, I traversed over the top of the ridge to Mummy, eventually joining the standard route right where the scree slope tops out. Returned the way I came. Long, tough day!" — StudioHoodoo • Jul 21, 2019
