Access Issue: June Voluntary Climbing Closure and Seasonal Raptor Closure

VOLUNTARY JUNE CLIMBING CLOSURE
The National Park Service asks that climbers choose not to climb the Tower during the month of June. The June voluntary climbing closure was selected as part of the Devils Tower Climbing Management Plan by a working group that included two climber organizations, two American Indian organizations, and other agency and local government representatives.
Climbers are strongly encouraged to consider enjoying the many other climbing options available in northeast Wyoming and the Black Hills area of South Dakota, during the month of June.

Description
Pitch 1- 5.9 Climb 30 feet of broken rock into a beautiful finger crack. Follow the varied finger crack up until it is possible to work right on crack and face holds to a stance and a 2 bolt anchor. 150ft
Pitch 2- 5.10b Stem your way up the corner using the leaning crack on your left for protection. Traverse left at a horizontal crack (good pro) into the next crack. Follow this corner of beautiful finger and hand jams to a 2 bolt anchor. 160ft
Pitch 3- 5.9 Appears to be another typical Devils Tower wide summit chimney.
Rap the route with 2 ropes
This is a great route with amazing climbing. The first pitch can be a little mossy but it only pads your fingers in the amazing jams. This route was cleaned July 2015
