Description 

This climb is a variation on pitch 3 of Hot Spur and will link the Hot Spur route into the upper portions of Northumberland Crack.

It starts after stepping right and out of the hanging, left-facing corner on pitch 3 of Hot Spur (about 50' into the pitch). Traverse right and up on a *loose* and exposed ledge following the path of least resistance toward the route Northumberland Crack. A few 5.6 moves are encountered toward the end of the traverse. Belay at the end of pitch 2 of Northumberland Crack. The position here is fantastic. Continue with the last 2 pitches of Northumberland Crack.
