History
Bear Creek Spire was named in 1908 by Joseph LeConte, James Hutchinson and Duncan McDuffie, because of its position at the head of the Hilgard Branch of Bear Creek.[3]
Climbing
The first ascent of Bear Creek Spire was a solo climb by Hermann Ulrichs in 1923 up its west face.[3][4] Norman Clyde established the Northeast Face route in October 1931 and a route up the Northeast Buttress in May 1932.[3]
