Location: WY : Devil's Tower : East and Northeast Buttress... : Burning Daylight (5.10b) By: Tony Vavricka When: Nov 11, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: My favorite route on the tower, it's the only route with not one but two overhangs, great pro and a full 150 feet of pumpy fun.

Location: WY : Devil's Tower : East and Northeast Buttress... : Assembly Line (5.9) By: P.D.Williams When: Oct 20, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: For crack climbing, it doesn't get any better than P2 on Assembly Line. We combined (simulclimbed) the bottom 2 pitches and did the last pitch in one push and topped out. 3 pitch climb. (Be careful to not overshoot the traverse to the belay station near the top of the main crack.) The $ pitch is sweet, but very strenuous and sustained.

Location: WY : Devil's Tower : East and Northeast Buttress... : Patent Pending (5.8+) By: Tyler V When: Sep 23, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: A super laid back way to get to the great views of Teacher's Lounge, or if you want to save all your strength for Assembly Line.
If you are looking for a real challenge at the Tower, this probably isn't worth your time, but for the beginner or if you are just looking to warm up and stretch the limbs out, this would be a great choice to climb.
Better have at least one #4 and a couple #3 BD cams on your sling unless you are willing to really run things out.

Comments: ^^^I'd probably be one of those folks!
The splitter at the top following the heart pumping moments at the crux made for this total feeling of accomplishment. Couple that with the views you get while relaxing on Teachers Lounge and I think this route becomes a Tower must do!!!

Comments: This was my first 10 on the Tower and I loved every second of it. The route starts off easy and just gets harder and harder all the way to the crux where the really balancy moves take over. The gear is solid but a little run out in places, though you can find good stances all over. I didn't carry anything smaller than a #7 BD nut, but if I did it again, I would probably carry a couple nuts in the 5-6 BD range.
The splitter hand crack at the top 20 ft of the climb makes for a total conf... more >>

Comments: I kinda like dirty pitches in the middle of long classics. But after the four star pitches 1 and 2, pitch 3 just sucked. I looked up at pitch 4 and we rapped off!
We were able to skip the rope-eating pull by doing a 60m rappel to the Fractal anchors (from the P2 anchors).

Comments: The third pitch will take some BD #4's.

Location: WY : Devil's Tower : Durrance Approach : Fritz's Fantasy (5.10b) By: tooTALLtim When: Sep 22, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: It is a bit easy to stay in the OW at the beginning (on the right side of the pillar), but was very happy I got on the face after the second bolt.
Exciting face moves and strenuous mantles!
I'd also swear there were around 14-15 bolts. I could also be crazy.

Location: WY : Devil's Tower : Durrance Approach : Durrance (5.7) By: EldoFiend When: Sep 5, 2009 | view comment >> |
Comments: With a 70m rope you can rap with a single rope (Meadows rappel and the 3 bowling alley rappels), but all are very close to 120 feet, and you may have to downclimb a few feet on the last bowling alley rappel. A single rack from green alien to #5 camalot seemed to protect the route perfectly.
