Bouldering

Imagine hiking up the beautiful Bear Lodge Mountains of northeastern Wyoming, surrounded by the Belle Fourche River, and seeing a grand structure of rock, a thousand feet up in the air. Nearly half a mile high, Devil’s Tower stands tall and proud, able to be seen from miles away. Devil’s Tower is known for its exciting climbing aspects, however, there is so much more than meets the eye when it comes to this particular climbing range. Devil’s Tower National Monument in Wyoming possesses a thought provoking cultural history, pertains to many geological mysteries, and was the start of a widely debated controversy. Several generations ago, a story was told among the local tribes surrounding Devil’s Tower. This story revolves around seven sisters and a brother playing in the woods of northeastern Wyoming. According to N. Scott Momaday’s book “The Way to Rainy Mountain”, the brother is transformed into a bear, fueled with rage, and chases the sister up to the stump of a great tree. The sisters climb upon the tree in hopes of escaping the bear, pray to the Great Spirits, and suddenly the stump rose up into the sky. The bear grew larger and larger and clawed down the length of the stump, giving the monument the long jagged columns (Dustin). This story has been the explanation of how the giant tower came to be, according to the natives that house their worship at this site. The story of the bear and seven sisters has been passed down for many generations and used by over twenty local…

Everyone felt rushed, which made it hard for the rest of us to enjoy our hike. We did some crazy steep bouldering to get back on the trail. The rest of the hike back to camp was downhill and flat. It was nice having no pack throughout the whole day hike, but once we got to our last night’s campsite we had to pack everything. It was time to go meet up with all the injured people at our new campsite. The hike there was painful on my knees because of how steep it was. Everyone was trying to go as…

in the beach town of Laguna Beach. Since I did not live far away, I would walk down the hill everyday afterschool instead of alternative transportation. Eventually, the walk became boring due to the constant cars trundling their way up and down the hill alongside the walkers. Due to these circumstances, I sought out an alternative path down the hill that I could take. It did not take me long to discover a winding path that also cut down the hill and led to my destination as well. Now, this…
