 Lightweights & Legends on Devil's Tower   

Well, despite not ideal rock climbing weather, it was still a memorable Labor Day weekend up on the Tower in Wyoming. It has definitely left me yearning to go back for more routes and awesome crack climbing. Thought I would share this trip report I put together. Maybe some of the Durrance Route info and pics can be helpful. If you decide to check it out, thanks for reading!

Jay - Always appreciate your comments, bud. No, none of me not smiling!

Natalie - Sooooo much good climbing! You should def put it on the list, especially being two hours drive closer than I am.

Kay & Abe - Yep, not a Gore, but dealing with crowds and touristy spots is worth it if it means climbing hundreds of feet of crack on such an iconic tower.
