The route line follows up a ramp near the base of the North Arete. Follow ledges and corners to a left facing turet (4th). Then continue above to a steep gully that leads to an upper turet. Climb this turet (4th...some 5th) to its apex. Climb down 15 feet to a sandy left facing corner, by a clean granite block (false summit). Conitinue past the block and past one more "bump" on top of Hurd. Th southern most "Bump" is the summit. The summit register is a glass Folger's jar.
