The start of Hot Spur. Climb a left-angling crack to a little pine tree. Continue up another short crack, then angle back right to a chimney/slot with a hand crack in the back.
On the last pitch which is the best of the route.

Getting down from Green Spur and Hot Spur. <br> <br> Images from Google Earth (www.google.com/help/terms_maps/).
The upper pitches of Hot Spur. Climb straight up short steep corners to a a series of ledges with trees.<br> <br> Climb through a broken area, then move up and right on loose ramp toward a big pine tree near the top of Northumberland Crack.<br> <br> Just left of the tree climb a steep juggy wall to the top.<br> <br> It's also possible to climb to the top farther to the left; this is mostly fourth class and loose.
Hot Spur. Start by a short left-angling crack with a little pine tree about 20' up. Head up to a prominent chimney/slot with a hand crack in the corner. Climb the slot and some short steep corners. Find a belay at a tree on some broken ledges.<br> <br> Head up and angle right on a loose ramp toward a big pine tree at the top of Northumberland Crack.<br> <br> Climb a steep juggy headwall and corner to the top. This last pitch is shared with Northumberland Crack.<br> <br> It's possible to continue up farther to the left, but the climbing is fourth class and loose.
