Fun choice for the week John – a new perspective on Devil’s tower. My favorite was the image with the climbers in it.

Thank you Tina. Decades ago we stayed at a small B&B on the far side from the park entrance. Our room had a big window with a view of the tower from bed. Idyllic.

Wow, that must take some effort to climb!

We were there many years ago and a local B&B owner had climbed it 700-800 times. He would take ‘amateurs’ up and offered to do so for us. We respectfully declined.

OK, so there will be another challenger (when it’s published) that features a shot or two of Devils Tower. Nice collection of diagonals.
How’d you know I’d be climbing the tower that day? (Maybe that’s a lie. >grin<)

Fantastic. Still amazes me that this is a hobby of “others”. More great examples.

Yes. I prefer to always have feet on the ground, firmly aligned with gravity. 🙂

An iconic monument made popular by the Close Encounters movie. A place I would love to see but not climb!

There was a trail around the base, a mile or so. It doesn’t take too long to see, so perhaps include a visit to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Deadwood (gambling), other parks.

John, these are great pictures and examples of diagonals. The opening shot is awesome and the diagonal closeup of the rock with railing and climbers is terrific. I was hoping you would mention you had also climbed it although I certainly understand why you decided to just take some photos instead. I love seeing these pictures!

Ha ha. I prefer the degree of gravity that doesn’t need assistance to stand on both feet. At all time. 🙂
