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.

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

I don't recall where the crux is on this route. Most likely toward the top where it steepens. Nice face climbing and thin crack on nice rock, similar to Mystic and the Mulchers. When we did the FA I belayed from the anchor bolts on Mystic... We did this route after climbing Everlasting and found it to be stellar. While Neverlasting is a good route, it's no where near as good as Everlasting.

Location

Two cracks right of Mystic and the Mulchers.

Protection

Two sets of wires and a few small cams.
