Locals leave the NLT and stay on the ridge a mile or so N of Devil's Thumb, and don't have to drop down to the scree slopes below Mummy on the NLT. There is a class 3, but far less obnxious chute through the last cliff band on Mummy. That chute is on the right, BEFORE you get to the clas 2 chute, and is marked by a downed, diagonal log in the chute.

I can't believeThe snow level differences between your trip and mine in 2011. I visited in mid-June 2011 and the snow was still piled 10 feet high in drifts!
Nice TR, thanks for sharing.
