“The upper pitches of Hot Spur. Climb straight up short steep corners to a a series of ledges with trees.

Climb through a broken area, then move up and right on loose ramp toward a big pine tree near the top of Northumberland Crack.

Just left of the tree climb a steep juggy wall to the top.

It's also possible to climb to the top farther to the left; this is mostly fourth class and loose.”

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.
Chris Taylor on pitch 1 at crux (not really a chimney, more of a corner w/ crack in back). Whole route goes in 2 long pitches. 02/06/2005 - snow all day - snow on every hold, only climbers in canyon!!! Great fun!<br> JW
On the last pitch which is the best of the route.
