Unlike Ouray, there's not much chance of being hit by falling poseurs, though!

http://www.devilstowerlodge.com/ Talk to Frank Sanders, he's the owner of the place and a great guy. He is also a climbing Guide.
Otherwise near DT is a KOA campground, I don't know if they are open in January.
Weather at DT on 1-6-05, just for reference.
High: 8° F
low: -4° F

I've climbed there on January 4th before, but yes, it does get cold. I'd go for a different month.

i aided walt bailey during december once. the crux was the approach - i needed ice axes and crampons to get up the ramp, and i was fairly terrified. maybe if you are a local you can sneak out to the tower during a freak warm streak, but planning a trip there in january is madness.
