Officials say a man was killed while climbing Devils Tower in eastern Wyoming.
The National Parks Service said a 21-year-old Wisconsin man was midway up the butte when he fell Sunday evening. Emergency responders declared him dead at the scene.
The accident left his climbing partner stranded on the wall of the tower. A rescue team with help from local climbing guides got the stranded climber down safely.
According to the National Parks Service, in the over 100-year history of climbing at Devils Tower, there have only been seven climbing deaths.
