Start of Independence Chimney start
Independence Chimney Route. Definitely an aid begining. Landing bad for a fall.
Dan high in the chimney which is protected well with 0.5-1 friends.
Dan Mottinger stemming up the OW start of P3.
The route follows the obvious chimney system to the opposite side of the monument, where it meets Otto's Rt.
Start of p1.
Racking up for the aid pitch. We placed maybe 5 pieces before free climbing. Fun pitch, a blue Totem protected the top perfectly... if you clip the correct rope.
