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 ?

Congrats! I "led" a group in May 2015, and that very snowy chute down from Mummy was "interesting." I recall one guy insisted he would take his shoes off and go down barefoot through the snow. It took us an hour to get everyone down, and the others finally convinced that guy to keep his shoes on. People were going down like toboggans, and it is amazing no one got injured. The "Nose" looks like a nose just from a few places on rte 95 and Lee Canyon road. From Charleston, the highpoint of "Forehead" actually looks like a nose!
