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."

#Rockclimbing stuff I learnt from the series "The climb":1. If you're older than 39 years old, climbing competition is not for you (the only older climber was eliminated at the first episode).2. You need to wear a helmet, unless you are Chris Sharma or Jason Momoa. In that case your large ego serves as a protection for your skull. Nice.

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

As a dedicated climber I've used the CAMP Photon #WireCarabiner over the past year. Its standout compact design, thanks to the wire gate, allows for easy clipping in tight spots and on your harness or pack. Perfect for multi-pitch climbs, it ensures quick and effortless clipping and unclipping. Despite its light weight, it's impressively strong. The Photon Wire is a top choice for those seeking durable and reliable #climbinggear.https://verticallstore.com/products/camp-photon-wire-carabiner#rockclimbing #climbingclips #carabiner
