Bill Ellwood on top of Standing Rock, 1987. The aluminum box to the left of Bill is the original summit register, permanently affixed with a Star Dryvin bolt, apparently by the first ascent team. Their signatures were still there.
Bill holding the Standing Rock summit register. Ninth ascent.
Summit register as we found it when we climbed Standing Rock in 1987.
A nice shot of all but the first pitch.
"Not because it's there, but because it might not be there much longer." (Layton Kor, one of the tower's three first ascensionists, on why they climbed the tower.) Photo snapped by Andrew Kulmatiski.
