Begin on a small flakey ramp and move left onto large inclusions. From the inclusions work up and right to a large pocket. Continue up the featured face to the anchors just below the summit of The Spur. Be careful of the landing prior to clipping the 1st bolt. A spot would be advisable.

Spur of the Moment

The Naked Spur

North face

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Pull the overhung bouldery opening moves on pockets and side pulls. Higher, knobs and pockets lead the the upper slab and the anchors.

From the base of The Spur's west face, below the overhung wall, pull up on pockets and over the bulge to reach a slab. Climb up the slab to a shelf. Continue climbing the bulge on small sharp features and pockets. Positive, but widely spaced pockets and features lead up the steep wall to the anchor.

From the trail on the east side scramble down to the right and around the pile of huge boulders that lean against the north face of the Spur. Climb up the west side of the boulders to a left trending ramp. Follow the ramp up and left on solid holds. At the top of the ramp scramble up the face just right of the arête on pockets to the guano coated summit.

A bouldery opening move leads to a large hueco and the 1st bolt. Move up and left on good holds to another deep pocket. Continue up until a traverse right is necessary to gain pockets to pull the bulge. Climb the overhung face on excellent pockets up and right to the shoulder where the angle eases. Continue climbing on features to the anchor.
