Devils Tower National Monument Lifts Current Prairie Falcon Climbing Route Closure MORE INFO >>> 07/01/2012: Because no falcon nesting activity has been observed, the prairie falcon nesting closures currently in effect will be removed on Sunday, July 1, thus opening these areas to normal recreational climbing activities. The areas to be reopened include on the northeast face, routes between and including “Belle Fourche Buttress” and “Maid in the Shaid” (routes #68 to #93), as well as the “North Face” rappel route. Separate from the falcon closure, Devils Tower National Monument has a voluntary climbing closure in effect for the month of June, out of respect for American Indian cultural traditions. For further information on climbing closures, please contact the monument’s Chief of Resource Management, Angela Wetz, at (307) 467-5283 ext 212 or Angela_Wetz@nps.gov. For general climbing information please contact the Devils Tower Climbing Office at 307-467-5283, ext. 632. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This incredible route has one of the rarest of Devils Tower features: splitter cracks! Continuous thin fingers and stemming will keep you thinking and cranking all the way to the chains.

Climb Dusk in Dogtown a short ways until you can reach into the splitter crack on the right. Continue up the sustained finger locks until the crack thins and you can reach left to another crack that angles up and right towards the anchor.

Location 

Start on the ledges below the Window (access this area by traversing right from El Cracko).

Protection 

Lots of nuts and small cams to .75 camalot.
