Frank just finished a “Wilderness First Responder” class that was taught by National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), through the local college over in Spearfish, South Dakota. It was a very Wonderful and Worthwhile 10 days of his Life !!! If You ever have the opportunity to take such a class, please do it !!! It will Change Your Life for the Better and Larger !!!

In May, Frank is hosting a Professional Climbing Guides Institute class at the Lodge that will certify folks as professional guides who know their business. The course includes a Rescue class and will allow Park Rangers, among others, to help people if they get into a hard spot pursuing their Dreams. It is a wonderful opportunity to Learn and climb Devils Tower with others who share Frank's passion !!!

Easter Sunday was warm enough and Glorious !!! Frank Had the Tower to himself and Touched the Tower Top 7 times, solo. “Project 365” continues smoothly. Since July 4th, 2007, he has Topped the Tower 251 times, climbed on the Tower in some capacity Every Day, except for 5. He has shared the rope and the rock and the climbing with 100+ folks !!!

We continue to supply the Clinic, at Porcupine, on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Our web site for the Cause is soon to be up and running !!!

Easter evening, friend Dave, arrived from Montana for 3 days of climbing !!! Dave is a Rock Star !! Frank was full of pent-up energy from a Full Winter of mostly climbing alone. Together, they established 2 new routes (yes, both long aid climbs), on the steep South West Face, in 3 days of marginal weather, ultimately ending in a snow storm !! It was tremendously satisfying for them both…and Challenging !!!
