I don't think I've ever heard of someone attempting to climb ice with an umbrella but today I wish I'd been the first. Doug Chabot and myself went to the upper mummy via two fine pitches of ice, no rock gear needed for three, and found ourselves at the base of what appeared to be a steep and enjoyable looking pitch. Little did we know the bladder of Mr. Mummy was overflowing from a hard week end of drinking and the pissing we ascended into was horrendous. The climb is worth doing in a crab fishing slicker or tight laytex suit. Please get pictures.
