Devils Tower National Monument Lifts Current Prairie Falcon Climbing Route Closure MORE INFO >>>
07/01/2012: Because no falcon nesting activity has been observed, the prairie falcon nesting closures currently in effect will be removed on Sunday, July 1, thus opening these areas to normal recreational climbing activities. The areas to be reopened include on the northeast face, routes between and including “Belle Fourche Buttress” and “Maid in the Shaid” (routes #68 to #93), as well as the “North Face” rappel route. Separate from the falcon closure, Devils Tower National Monument has a voluntary climbing closure in effect for the month of June, out of respect for American Indian cultural traditions. For further information on climbing closures, please contact the monument’s Chief of Resource Management, Angela Wetz, at (307) 467-5283 ext 212 or Angela_Wetz@nps.gov. For general climbing information please contact the Devils Tower Climbing Office at 307-467-5283, ext. 632.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description Had the pleasure of doing this route with Frank and "Lovely Liana" just a few days after their first ascent. The first half of the route involves INCREDIBLY fun face moves. The second half begins with fingers to AWKWARD hands. VERY FUN ROUTE!!
Location The obvious bolted face begins a few cracks left of Manifest Destiny.
Protection Draws, Full set of Camalots and Stoppers.

| The bolted section on this route has some of the best, sustained face climbing on the Tower, leading into a devious crack that protects well. |
By Guy H. From: Fort Collins CO Oct 22, 2012
| There is still a little bit of flaky rock on this pitch, but the face climbing is high quality with good protection. A single set of camalots from 0.5 to #4 friend will protect the upper hand crack. Doubles from 0.75 to 3 will sew it up. |
