It is amazing to me to look at Reese in the picture of the whole mountain and see how small the actual part of the mountain we were climbing on was. Some of those routes were over 300ft I believe and Dennis's area is so small compared to the larger whole.

The climbing area we were in is just the brown rock to the right of the caption about the same size as the caption. I believe Dennis said there are over 300 routes that are up to 300ft 30 bolt sport routes right there on fantastically featured granite. I think the rest of the mountain has barely been touched. So there seems to be a little potential left.

My general impression of Devil's Tower. Cool formation! I'll have to come back again, maybe on a cragging road trip? Vedaw00T!, DT, Needles? :-)
Best car camping site views ever. The slow team on the Durrance route provided dinner entertainment. :-)
Is this a normal occurrence on the Devil's Tower Summit? Now we just needed some birds.

Jaybro did it yesterday. Had not planned to but no one was there when we got there. Jack got up the 2nd and then we went for it from there. It was a little warm in the sun probably close to 80 so he had to work for it. He got a little gassed toward the top of our 6th pitch and needed a little more than gentle encouragement to make the jump traverse. We were the last cars out of the parking lot.

And cheers to one proud dad!

Yeah Freemont in both shots.Here are some more from a weekend exploring the Laramie Range and a few days at Freemont. the upper gorge is very impressive with the water running high right now. I have never been there when the water is high.
