Devils tower climbing Last week of July 2009? Anyone interested?

Hey'all,

My buddy and i are going to be climbing in Rushmore and would love to follow someone up the tower. El cracko or something in the general grade. Been climbing for about 2 years and we're both 10c/d sport climbers, just started climbing trad and do have some gear, etc. but not the confidence to summit this behemoth. We are self sufficient enough to belay solidly, build gear anchors, clean routes, etc. I've hit a few 5.7 trad routes but they've been pretty short. If any one is interested hit me up. Thanks Homies, Dustin

Hi Dustin,

I'm going to be at the tower around that time - from Thursday (7/30) to Sunday (8/2). I'll be hanging out with a group of people and don't have a specific partner, so I could easily meet up to climb with you folks. I've been up the tower before and I've been wanting to do El Cracko to the top - because it was late in the day we only did the first pitch last fall. Let me know if you want to meet up and I'll send you my contact info.

BTW: Frank is great! If you have the cash to spend, it will be worth it.
