Devils Tower--May 27-31, 2005

Durrance (5.7) Climbing THE classic route on the Tower.			TAD (5.7) We climbed TAD with Will and Alison on a very busy day.
Northeast Buttress We found many fun shorter routes on the Northeast Buttress of the Tower.			A Rainy Day Hike What climbers do when the weather doesn't cooperate.

Not having been to the Tower since 2000 and never having climbed to the top on our own, the time was ripe to return.  Having recently met Frank Sanders, owner of Devils Tower Lodge, the chance to visit him on his home turf gave us a little extra incentive to head to the Tower; if Frank can't get you excited about climbing the Tower, you're a lost cause!  So, the plans were made.  We would be spending Memorial Day weekend at Devils Tower with a bunch of our closest friends!
