The Mummy Rock Climbing

From the North Crest Trail (130), take the Chimney Canyon Trail (137A) from the junction at the immediate north end of the radio towers. After descending four switchbacks down the limestone band, cut off trail to the west, descending straight downhill to an aspen meadow, that opens to a clearing, ending in a cliff, with a clear view to the NW of the Mummy and its encompassing canyon directly below. Dropping through the trees to the east of this overlook through steep forest will provide access to the wild un-trailed Mummy Canyon. Continue down through steep pine forest until aspen groves give way to scree slopes strewn with boulders of varying size. Eventually the talus slope opens up away from the trees and the Mummy is visible directly downhill. Carefully negotiate the minefield of boulders for the remaining approach down, maintaining a clear view of the Mummy, over open terrain. This approach covers 1.4 miles, descends approximately 1,400 feet and took me about 90 minutes down (with route-finding) and 70 minutes back up.
