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.

Rock climbing routes on the East and Northeast Faces of Devils Tower summit will be temporarily closed to protect nesting Peregrine and Prairie Falcons.
Description
A good, long pitch of mostly clean placements that will require some typical Tower gardening to excavate. Almost entirely bomber gear, with a few thinner spots. 3 pins were placed on the FA, but this should go without them using some more clean-aid ingenuity.
Follow the crack directly above the left side of the roof over the belay atop Fractal. The first bit is the thinnest. At a distinct horizontal break where the crack ends, move left into the stembox of Synchronicity, clean aid up it 15' or so, and again cut left with free moves along a blocky handrail/crack into the belay atop P2 of One Way Sunset. Rap that (can swing back over to Fractal anchors if you leave things there) with double 60m ropes.
