Reminds me of a cool short web comic where survivors try to climb to the top to escape zombies only to reach to top and be eaten by zombies
ASneakyTurtle
I think it was called devils climb or something like that

Neither mysterious nor lonely. How many times did this fucking post go back and forth through Google Translate.

Well, geologists are only mostly sure about its formation.

Is this part of the government's conspiracy to get us to believe Wyoming is a real place?

An imgurian tried to argue it's a giant stump from an ancient tree.

That’s is a horrible depiction. But devils tower is cool and you can rock climb up to the top.

Looks like a giant muffin that fell from space and landed top down

DidItForScience
Is it mysterious? I assumed it's one of those lava things where the ground around it eroded away.
2thirdsTeacher1thirdRanger
Fun fact, it’s official name is “Devils Tower” without an apostrophe because Roosevelt misspelled it in the 1906 establishment papers
SnepInTime
Maybe there were several devils in the tower.
MasterMookie
"Devil's Tower" originated in 1875 during an expedition led an interpreter reportedly misinterpreted a native name to mean "Bad God's Tower"
MasterMookie
Its real name is "Bear's House" or "Bear's Lodge". So yeah no spooky name here.

Love this movie so much!

I wonder how a current day version would go. Would it be just 10 minutes googling mountains?
DSREX
The scale of that thing is insane, it is so much bigger than you think.
2thirdsTeacher1thirdRanger
It’s 867 feet from base to top.

Something like a 60 story building, with nothing even close near by.

Hi, there are actually people that believe it’s the Eden tree of knowledge of good and evil. I met these people when I worked there.

Damn the Lakota have really begged and pleaded for people to specifically not do that for so long.

And the mountain?

Your wife is a bad ass, that is a nasty climb.

It was so slick when I climbed it. It's amazing how skin and rubber can wear down stone.

Fun fact, I couldn't find the tourist entrance, so I got out and hiked up the the base on the far side. It's a very steep climb. And snakes.
KnudGL
?

Besides the movie reference, a cool fun fact is this is the core of a volcano after the mountain around it eroded.

So how come it's not a diamond mine?

Almost looks like a fossilized tooth or horn. Wack.

Also you can identify the rock by the sound it makes when struck, very bell like ( went there for Geo field camp it was awesome)

If you go there (and I have) there's a plaque that lists two different scenarios about how it was formed. They don't know which is true.
mrpotatodick
Legend has it a bear made the ridges with its claws trying to climb it, chasing a native american child ?

Big bear. BIG child!

It was a group of sisters, they fled to the sky to become the "seven sisters" constellation.
AleksStark
Subaru?
GodLikeButHumble
Yep
RobErtE87
Uluru and the devil's marbles are similar. Material that is harder than what's around it, which then eroded and left the harder material
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
I wish I could've visited Uluru before it was closed off to tourists, but I completely understand and respect why it was done.
MothMonsterMan
Sort of. Not a volcano, but a laccolith: intrusive bulge of magma that solidified underground and then surrounding sediment eroded away 1/2
IxnayOnTheOttenRay

Quite of few of them around the world. But few quite like this one.

It’s not a laccolith. It’s a Necromonith. Don’t find the primary crypt ?

Fuckimgurcunts
Only if you ask her nicely
MothMonsterMan
Exposing the intrusion. There is a lack of volcanic ash, flows, etc. That would imply it was a legit volcano.
InDubiousBattle
So, a volcano's weird cousin?
Pokegeologist
The pimple that never popped
MothMonsterMan
It's possible evidence of it being a volcano also eroded away, but it's not as likely as it just being a laccolith.
gerksterr
dead volcano sounds better so i'll just keep believing that but thanks
Fuckimgurcunts
It's an earth-zit that they actually didn't pop cause it's in an area no one sees it

Bystandr
Oh thanks for the clarification ! It still MIGHT be a volcano, then, but more likely is an intrusion of magma that didnt break the surface.
RocksNSocks
Thank you

Is it volcanic rock then? I always took it for granite.
iquestioneverything
It's gneiss, don't take it for granite.

See, who needs music notation. I heard every note of that!

Dude, CEot3K is right up there with Empire and Cloud Atlas for me as best movies of all time. Maybe 12 Angry men as a runner up.
kristProblemLord
I got grounded when I was in 3rd grade from TV for a whole month and Dad ungrounded me just so I could watch CEot3K with him.
KingXizor
That is some GOOD Dading right there. Close Encounters makes you FEEL something bigger, grander!

My Dad was a pretty cool guy before he got brainwashed by right wing propaganda. :(
