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
Low angled face climbing along a finger crack that eats small wired stoppers best describes this climb. It's better to approach from the east side as the more direct or western line encounters steeper, vegetated and generally disgusting terrain.
From the pleasant, flat staging area under New Wave and Broken Tree move right two cracks beyond the start of Everlasting to the Mulchers crack start. Meander up the low angle crack plugging in small wireds at will. The crack steepens near the top and the crux comes just above a mini-roof by a bolt. The 3 bolt belay is just above on a nice flat platform for the feet, 150 ft. 5.8-. Rap the route.
The northeast corner area of the tower is great for a day full of climbing. It offers a veritable cornucopia of terrific one pitch classics.
