Tower Ladder (Devils Tower National Monument)

The Ladder at Devils Tower was first constructed and used in 1893 by William Rogers and Willard Ripley to publicly ascend Devil's Tower.

[2] The present tower ladder consists of a series of wooden stakes connected on the outside by vertical wood planks.

One end of each stake is driven sideways into a rock crevice, vertically ascending the southeast side of the tower.

Attached with nails and/or baling wire to the other end of the stakes are 12-inch lengths of 1 x 4 - inch lumber.
