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.

Description
A very nice route that deserves more traffic. Although short, it is quite fun.
Begin in the low angle crack just right of "Billie Bear Cranks the Rad". Delicate small stopper placements where the crack thins and the wall steepens will thrill the soul! Climb through the broken section to a double bolt anchor above "Billie Bear".

Getting There
From the Devils Tower Visitors Center, follow the loop trail counterclockwise and head up through the boulder field to the slabs towards the shoulder leading up the base of the leaning column. The climb up is rather exposed, and many parties prefer to rope up on some of the terrain. There are some 5.2 moves for sure and plenty of exposed terrain.
