Devils Tower, the massive laccolith in northeastern Wyoming, stands tall at 867 feet. Roughly 4000 thrillseekers dare to ascend the landmark every year, but only one person has ever made it to the top without climbing there. Meet George Hopkins, the only man to ever parachute onto Devils Tower.
On October 1, 1941, Hopkins, a professional parachutist who held various world records for his daring jumps, floated his way onto the top of the Tower, which is roughly the size of a football field. Though he stuck the landing, the daredevil didn’t plan very well for the trip down.
