Went up to the mummy on Friday. It wasn't touching which gave us some doubts but a closer look from the top of the rock pitch decided other wise. Dry tooling over on good ash/moss/choss sticks gets you to the ice comfortably despite the fact that it is not touching. Unfortunately once I was on the ice she came falling down though my tool was fortunately just above the fracture and I was able to finish the route. My partner Mike didn't have many problems reaching the ice, so despite the appearance the upper mummy ice is still reachable. One of the best routes I have ever climbed, enjoy.
