This is Erin Eidsness starting the jump traverse on Durrance with Rollie Johnson belaying.

This is the apparently loose column of the first pitch on durrance

Instead of doing the long 4th/5th class traverse, just climbe the Durrance Approach route (5.4)

Alone on the tower for the first 3 pitches of Durrance. What a grunt for an old man. Hardest 5.6 I have ever done.

This was taken on Devil's Tower. My friend Jeremy is rappelling off of the Durrance route. . . .like a pro! It was his first time climbing the tower.

This picture began a new tradition. After we summit any mountain (unless it's bitterly cold out, but for us Montana boys it has to be below zero) or Tower, we strip down. Granted there are exceptions depending on the number of people present.

Nice photo op. while we waited for the next climber to start working their way up the route. Photo by Benjamin Stark

A friend of mine leading Pitch 2 of the durrance route, probably the gnarliest 5.8 I've ever done.

Summit of Devil's Tower 6-30-2002. As you can see I am relaxing in the hot sun and looking over the registra, hey lots of names here.

12 year old Oakleemax kicking butt on the crux of the Durrance route, the Durrance Crack. Oakleemax summited along side his mother, gblauer and mitchal. Quite an accomplishment for the little guy.

Leading the classic Devil's Tower moderate late in the day to avoid the crowds.

Numerous ways to top of Tower on east face. Silas follows Durrance route; Mark and Manny go left on wide crack, 09/02.
