Authorities have urged climbers to take precautions and check the weather forecast before tackling Wyoming's Devils Tower after a 21-year-old man fell to his death there.
Stewart Phillip Porter from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was rappelling down from the top shortly before 8pm on September 22 when he fell, leaving his climbing partner stranded. His partner called for help and Devil’s Tower authorities arrived but sadly Stewart died at the scene after suffering what the National Park Service described as "major injuries".
