CROOK COUNTY, Wyo. (WFRV) - Authorities in Wyoming say a Wisconsin man has died after he fell Sunday night while rappelling down a section of the Devils Tower National Monument. According to a release from the National Park Service, Devils Tower Law Enforcement officers responded around 8:00 p.m. for reports of a rock climber falling from the Devils Tower National Monument. At 8:40 p.m. they were able to find the climber who had fallen and their climbing partner. Officials say 21-year-old Stewart Phillip Proter from Eau Claire was rappelling the second pitch of EL Cracko Diablo when he fell and suffered major injuries that he later died from while still on the scene. One person injured following late night fire in Fond du Lac Porter's partner was found stranded and later rescued from the wall of the Tower with assistance from Devils Tower Lodge Climbing Guides and Buck Wild Climbing Guides. Officials say that in the last 100-plus years of climbing history at the Devils Tower National Monument, only seven climbing deaths have occurred. While climbing fatalities are a rare occurrence at Devils Tower, officials warn that it is still an inherently dangerous climb and offer the following safety tips: Check the local weather forecast before climbing and observe changing weather conditions. Summer days can see the rock at the Tower reach over 100 degrees Storm systems develop quickly in the area and can include lightning, rain, and hail leading to possible slippery surfaces and hypothermia cases. Park in the lower/gravel lot of the visitor center parking lot. This lot is said to provide more shade to vehicles and allows for more short-term visitors to park in the upper/paved lot. Watch for animals. The tower is inhabited by stinging insects, birds, rodents, and reptiles. Routes are typically long and sustained in grade. Officials say technical rock climbing equipment is required to safely climb at Devils Tower National Monument. Check with multiple sources for information on routes and suggested gear. Climbing helmets are strongly recommended due to frequent rock falls. The majority of climbing accidents and deaths on the Tower occur during the rappel. The National Park Service does not maintain anchors, be sure to inspect all anchors and back them up if needed. Be sure to know and confirm the rappel route before beginning. Start rappels over the nose of columns to prevent ropes from jamming in cracks Avoid knocking loose rock onto climbers below. Many rappels could require multiple ropes, so know the distance of the rappel before beginning. In the event of an emergency, officials say to stay calm and attempt to call 911 or attempt to yell down to the Tower Trail. Assistance from local resources and monument staff may be available but rescue is not certain. No other information about this incident is available at this time.
