L that's on Devil's Tower. One of my first 5.9 leads. Incredibly coo! .My brother's cabin is 10 miles away. Come out this summer and we'll do a mass ascent! We can do show tunes!!

Knew it had to be the Tower...just looked a bit funky from this angle.
Mass ascent with SHOW TUNES??? I'm all over dat! (I've always wanted to climb that puppy!)
But summer? I thought the reason they call it Devil's Tower twas cause it's hotter 'n hell in the summer. No?

Good point, May or late August/ September maybe.
However, it's on the West face, and you can beat the sun by starting early!

L, Jay hit the nail on the head, of course he would know. That is one tough 5.9, I think they give it a +. I would add a full number grade to it though. Much tougher than the first two pitches combined which are rated 5.10. The first picture is on a really sweet pire in the needles with some really good wide on it at a much more reasonalbe grade. Sept and Oct are really good as can be November and December many years.

MH2, is it my eyes or is there a paucity of pro in that shot? Did he climb
that flare sans sustenance?
Briham and MikeM, nice shots!
You too, Cosmic, but maybe a little less butt next time, mkay? ;-)

I still say we need to talk nature into doing a sushifest in the Black Hills. I can think of some very good locations, my back yard, Devils Tower, Poverty gultch, sylvan lake picnic area, Needles Eye Tunnel, Spearfish Canyon...

We actually pestered nature about the concept of a DeTo Sushifest last week at the IC Sushifest he seemed positive about it!!
I think the colonel(frank Sanders)'s place is where we want to be! Occupy devil's Tower Lodge!
Note the banner ad under which I am typing!
