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.

Rock climbing routes on the East and Northeast Faces of Devils Tower summit will be temporarily closed to protect nesting Peregrine and Prairie Falcons.
Description
People disappear all the time. Many of the lost will be found, eventually, dead or alive. Disappearances, after all, have explanations. Usually.
Luckily for you this climb is one of the easiest to get to on the Tower. After you climb this route you'll be shouting, "Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ, why didn't I climb this 200 years ago?"
Climb this in a kilt or it doesn't count, ye ken?
Location
Look for the bonny finger crack roof directly under Gooseberry Jam on the Belle Fourche Buttress. If you miss this climb, you might just journey all the way to Lallybroch.
Protection
.1 through #3 BD. A couple brassies also help in some spots. Originally done as one mega pitch to the base of Gooseberry Jam. If you decide to be a wee bairn you can easily break this into two pitches by stopping shortly after the finger crack roof. Gear anchor here is hand/fist size. Up top you have multiple options.
