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."

Outdoor season opened yesterday at Mustavuori, Tampere (see my bright blue pants in the upper right corner). Climbed easy sport routes, most of them in a top rope. Heroically I did try to lead the very first route, but rock felt so different after long winter months indoors that my nerves gave up after four quickdraws. But it was a good try, all things considered. Today everything hurts, but who cares. #climbing #rockclimbing #kiipeily #deartrainingdiary

This is what it's all about! 🧗‍️Recently helped kit out a young local climber for her school trip to Spain - now look at her crushing it! Proper made our day getting these photos. Nothing better than seeing the next generation of climbers developing their skills! #outdoors #OutdoorAdventure #climbing #ClimbingGear

Deception Crack, a classic 2* Hard Severe at Kyloe Out. Great conditions last night, and breezy enough to keep the midge at bay until almost 9pm. For #Northumberland sandbag aficionados, let me recommend Fakir's Slab. VDiff?!! They must be mad!! Fun route, afterwards, but approach it as you would a poorly protected and slopey Severe. #Climbing #RockClimbing #TradClimbing
