 Registration
is required to climb Devils Tower or it is a Federal Offense. Below
are photos of people making the journey to climb the tower. It takes
a lot of gear to climb the tower. One climber told the Karen Duquette
that it took him four hours to get to the top, others said it took longer.
The tower is 865 feet high. The length of time to climb the tower depends
upon the climber's experience and ability. Climbers must use their own
judgment and be responsible for their own safety at all times. Lee and
Karen Duquette saw a climber FALL part way down this monument but he
was okay, thank goodness.
