By: Frank Sanders When: Oct 28, 2008 | view comment >> | Comments: Trevor did a Long and Skillful Lead on this one !! He left out the Best part; inevitably, it was a #1 Beak that was the last piece under the roof, followed by a poor, shallow, downward pointing Bugaboo just over the roof !! Yeah, Trevor !!! The climb is Fun and Exhilarating !!Its location on the SW face makes it warm most times of the year, and its more than steep enough to be "snow-free" all year 'round !! I Highly Recommend this route, (and any of those near it; i.e. ... more >>

Location: WY : Devil's Tower : South and East Faces : Bon Homme Variation (5.8)
By: Frank Sanders When: Nov 15, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: Surely one of the CLASSIC 5.8's on this Tower!!!
I highly endorse doing the 2nd pitch in the Right Hand Crack. It might be a bit harder than the Left Hand Alternative, but it is all solid rock, straight forward and very protectable.
The Left Alternative might be technically easier, but it is awkward, with some loose rock and the protection leaves something to be desired in numerous spots.
USER BEWARE on the left hand crack.

By: Frank Sanders When: Nov 15, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: Of the 3 CLASSIC 5.8's on this Tower,(Bon Hamme, Extended Weissner, Patent Pending, McCarthy North 1st Pitch, etc), this one, of Pat Padden & Rod Johnson's creation, is Surely the Best !!! Going out to climb it Right Now, as a Matter of Fact !!

Location: WY : Devil's Tower : South and East Faces : Soler Eclipse (5.11b)
By: Frank Sanders When: Nov 15, 2007 | view comment >> | Comments: The first pitch is Marvelous !!! It is full of "Thoughtfull" and "Figure it Out" moves,solid holds,and Fat Bolts. in ALL of the Right Places.Yes 5.11b but Full-on PG!!!
The 2nd Pitch, though technically much easier, 5.10a, is a Huge Contrast. It is quite "run out" and You need to depend on flakes that "bend" and threaten to pull off. There are only 2-3 bolts on the whole pitch and they are of lesser quality. 5.10a, Yes, but 5.10a R!!!
USER BEWARE!!!!
Soooo, just do the 1st pitch,enj... more >>

Its got it all; great locks, great pro and a stellar hanging belay right in the middle !!! The first free ascent of the route went to Layton Kor and Ray Jaquot in 1959. What a Plum they picked !!!!
