"I've climbed Mummy a bunch of times, but always wanted to camp up top. I took an extremely steep route out of Foxtail Canyon. I had cached some water on the ridge earlier this summer to make getting up the steep part easier. It actually took me longer to get down than it did to go up! Even with the extra weight from my camping gear & food, I felt great going up. I was pretty tired on the descent & I can tell you, I had enough of steep, loose terrain when it was over. I had somehow blocked out how rough the ridge is from "Peak" 10981 to the top of the scree slope on the standard Mummy route. I'm kind of glad I did, because I'm not sure I would've done this had I remembered ;-) It was a beautiful experience. Sunset & sunrise were stunning. I made some sketches & cowboy camped under the stars. Was on both peaks on the 6th as well. This is probably one of the shortest routes up Mummy. I'm putting my gps file on here, with the warning that you must be able endure prolonged hiking on extremely steep, loose terrain. If you think the scree slope on the standard route is bad...this isn't for you! " — StudioHoodoo • Oct 5, 2024

"8.27.24~Mummy Head to Toe Traverse, solo with an arrogant & bold 10:30am start. 3rd solo lifetime. Mummy Nose, Forehead, Chin, Tummy & Toe. 9 miles, 5,000’ gain (give or take) in 7:31hrs. Wasn’t my fasted nor my slowest. I haven't done this in 4 years. Weather was perfect though some sections were warm. My route finding was good. Some scary sections were not as bad as I remember but other sections I don’t remember being bad, seemed scary. Today was my 1st time going up the creepy Zebra striped rock climb when heading from to Tummy from Chin. I usually take the narrow dry-fall chasm across from it. Doing this alone is a mind fuck but I kept my composure all day. It was completely exhausting especially the 14 jumping splits photo outtakes on Mummy Tummy. I drank 3-17oz bottles of water, 24 oz of Gatorade. One PB&J and half a burrito. Great day.

"8.22.24~ Mummy Mtn (as the crow flies from Deer Creek Hwy), Mummy’s Toe, Mummy Springs, Raintree & Raintree/aka Bristlecone Peak, in that order. 8.5 miles, 4,000’ gain. What a slog. I was 90% protected from the high winds except on the Summits and near saddles where is sounded like a freight train. Great weather. It was chilly if I sat too long. Difficult, peaceful and lonely, just the way I like it. " — paula.raimondi • Aug 22, 2024

"Due to Trail Canyon being closed because of Hurricane Hillary, we decided to take the Stanley B route that would get us to Cockscomb and Mummy Mt. There's also the option to add Mannequin Peak after Cockscomb, but we didn't. We were supposed to add MJ and Toe after Mummy Mt, but two hikers needed our assistance to get off of Mummy so we helped them down instead. The peaks aren't going anywhere. This is not an overly challenging route, just a longer time route, compared to using Trail Canyon. It's only about 3/4 of a mile longer, but the scrambling up Stanley B takes about 2 hours longer. PLEASE be aware that there is class 4 with a small section of class 5 climbing on this route. Have fun! Be safe! " — Heartattackbruce • Aug 4, 2024

"Lovely hike amongst the trees of the Spring Mountain range. I had originally planned on going for Sheep peak but was met by a closed gate at sunset. I looked at the map for an alternative and Fletcher peak caught my eye. I wasn't sure about the Mummy traverse as I hadn't done any research on it prior. Some tricky sections of class 3 (might be considered 4th class due to loose rock) but nothing as challenging as the scrambling routes within Red Rocks. " — MikeERodriguez • Jul 31, 2024

"This is one of two short routes that I know to Mummy Mt. (Tummy). Each route is about 2.5 miles from TH to the peak. You need to be an advanced scrambler and know how to read and navigate a multitude of different terrains....from steep scree to loose rock climbing. There are some random cairns now and then on the route, but they would be very hard to follow to the peak...if they go to the peak....they are random. NOTE: this is an advanced scramblers route.

"This was scramble to see if there was a route...and yes there is. A very good route. The track has about 1/3 of a mile of exploration that is not necessary. We tried to find a way to get up a wall, but we didn't have success. If you are following the track you will exit the initial ascent ridge at around 1 to 1.25 miles and cut across the gully to the treed ramp on the other side...where the track goes up by a wall. The rest of the track is pretty straight forward. We made this a loop hike, but that can be altered to whatever you'd like to do. The exit gully was steep at the top and full of aspens part way down, but overall not bad. The exit takes you back to the base of Pioneer Rock, which we didn't summit on this day, and goes through the closed Girl Scout Camp. " — Heartattackbruce • Jun 30, 2024

"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
