North Face of Devils Tower is temporarily closed for falcons, AND has a voluntary closure each June. MORE INFO >>> 5/31/2013 The NPS has announced that the North Face of Devil's Tower is temporarily closed for nesting prairie falcons until further notice. 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 see www.nps.gov/ns/deto/planyourvisit/junevoluntaryclosure.htm 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 

A tough for what the book calls 5.6 move gets you off the ground. Followed by straightforward crack and face work. There is a bit of loose rock up top, including a big flake that looks appealing to access the anchors. A good route if you have no time after arriving late, or after you are done with something bigger.

Location 

Left of the three sport routes including Tintin Does Donuts, is a left facing crack, followed by another crack and immediately by a third. This climbs the third crack.

Protection 

Standard rack, although cams seemed helpful as the crack was flared. Anchors are on top and right of the climb, on the ledge right of the chimney.
