Mummery died on Nanga Parbat and on the Diamir side of the mountain, there is a famous section named after him called Mummery Spur. In February 2019, two climbers, Daniele Nardi of Italy and young Tom Ballard from England, attempted to climb Nanga Parbat through the Mummery Spur in winter, a very dangerous route, as the Mummery Spur is known for constant avalanches. According to the famous Italian climber, Simone Moro, climbing Mummery Spur in winter is a suicidal undertaking.
