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."

Caroline Ciavaldini trying a corner route. Most of the time corner routes have tiny foodholds and your feet are constantly positioned in the same angle which can give you terrible aching legs/feet So, it's a huge relief when you finally reach the anchor. #climbing #rockclimbing #girlswhoclimb

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
