In his own words: Fritz R. Gordner

Fritz R. Gordner recalls his August 28, 1960, climb of Devils Tower with his friend Fred Weiss. Gordner details the equipment and techniques used to scale the rock formation, and he describes the ascent and descent of the famous monolith. Gordner’s essay is followed by a piece by Michael F. Moran that lists some of Gordner’s subsequent climbs and describes his involvement with the Theodore Roosevelt Association. Two photographs of Gordner and Weiss atop Devils Tower accompany the essay.
