Description

Actual route starts about 15 ft right of Topeka and about 20ft right of Kansas City. The climb meanders up and to the left.

As a fun alternative you can start the same as Topeka (5.6ish) and climb the flat left facing wall straight up to the first overhang before Topeka's roof and traverse right to continue on up and join Independence's finish and final moves (also possible to traverse right before the overhang for a slightly easier climb).

Surprisingly fun but short.
