Best Belay Seat Ever at Devil's Lake.<br>

One day (early 80's)we carried a Lazy Boy recliner up to the East Bluffs. I was all for leaving it up there but much to our credit we carried it back down at the end of the day. That's Jeff Kane in the chair.

The upper trail is the East Bluff Trail, accessed from the Balanced Rock or Potholes trails from the left (west) or from the CCC trail to the right (east). Dropping down from Leaning Tower is the Leaning Tower Gully.

CCC Trail from below, meets the East Bluff Trail above at D'Arcy's. From the Flatiron (Monster) the Guillotine is right. From the base of the Pedestal, left is the main climber's trail.

Birdfoot Violet (Viola pedata) is an unusual little violet, both for its dark shade of purple and for its finely divided leaves.<br>
<br>
It shows up after the Dutchman's Breeches have finished, but before the Columbine have really started. A good place to find it is along the rim of the East Rampart, between Rainy Wednesday Tower and the Leaning Tower Gully.
