2-Day Devils Tower Experience

Location

Devils Tower, Wyoming

Group Size

2 people per guide

Duration

2 days

This is our most popular trip and gives climbers the opportunity to warm up to the style of climbing on the Tower while learning or refreshing the necessary skills required for a successful summit climb. It is a good option for climbers who are new to multipitch trad climbing or who want the opportunity to climb more & learn new skills. 

All trips are private & we can provide all the necessary technical equipment with no rental fee. 

Day 1: Training Day.

The day will start at our headquarters located at Devils Tower Lodge. You will be outfitted with all the necessary equipment for the trip. If you are bringing some personal gear your guide will inspect the equipment to ensure it is in proper working order.

After outfitting you will drive 1 mile to the main parking area for Devils Tower National Monument. You will hike to the base of the Tower with your guide and begin climbing & working on skills.  Some of the skills covered include:

  • Crack climbing techniques
  • How to clean traditional protection
  • Multipitch systems & efficiency
  • Rappelling tactics
  • Belay techniques

The goal for the day is to get climbers familiar with their roles in the team & have them feeling prepared for the summit day. 

 

Day 2: Summit Day

The summit day starts early to provide climbers with the best conditions. Start times vary throughout the season. Climbers will hike to the base and begin their ascent with the goal of standing on top. There are places to stop & rest throughout the climb. Once on top we will rest, take in the view and accomplishment before starting the rappel down. 

Round trip times vary greatly but average around 8 hours.

There is a maximum ratio of 2 climbers per guide. If you have a group larger than 2, another guide will be assigned to your team. This low ratio provides the highest level of care, instruction & efficiency.

Complimentary camping options are available onsite.
