An Eau Claire, Wisconsin, resident has died climbing Devil's Tower (also known as Bear's Lodge) in Wyoming.
A stranded climbing partner was rescued.
"Over the 100 plus year climbing history at the Tower, there have only been seven climbing deaths. While climbing fatalities at Devils Tower are infrequent, it is still inherently dangerous."

A new favourite in the area, Bottle Glass has got some nice unpolished moderates away from the crowds at the main wall. All you have to put up with is a floor covered in glass shards from the practices of local drunks, hence the name.

Because of things, I have an opportunity to be in Gariwerd / the Grampians and possibly head to Dyurrite / Mt Arapiles for a few (weekdays) later this month. Nothing on my agenda, rocks on my mind.Anyone want to trust me with their life / go climb rocks on trad gear? Happy just cruising - been a minute, need to recalibrate the gear eyes. Or go bouldering (you have to bring the crash mats) or just hang out by a campfire and wander around. Probs from 23-26 September...#rockClimbing #Victoria

I finally got good beta on a semi sekrit climbing training wall just up the road from home today....time to start the journey to strong again. I miss being up high, sometimes even talking to eagles, so much. Yes, some of the planet's best climbing at Dyurrite / Mt Arapiles is only a long day trip away - it's just fuel budget not reachable at the minute.#climbing #rockClimbing
