Independence topo
Independence right
1. India (6b)
A pleasant route up a slight groove with an unusual exit leftwards. Reachy.
2. The Last Crusade (6c+)
Difficult and fingery moves from ledge with scary clip. Pre-clip 3rd BR.
3. Independence (6b) ★
A fine sustained face climb via a blunt rib.
4. I Don’t Agree (6b+) ★★
This goes directly up the centre of the fine black face with excellent rock and climbing.
5. Independence Day (6b+) ★★
The left-centre of face gives a fine companion to the last route.
6. Oh Calcutta (6a)
The shallow groove system on the left-hand side of the face gives a nice easier route or a warm-up. Keep to the line of BRs.
7. The Indi Mix (6c)
A short, difficult route past a prominent layback edge.
Independence left
8. Indi-Pops (6c)
A fine climb up a short wall and prominent overlap which is taken on the left.
9. Indiana Jones (6a+)
Gain the prominent cracks via a hard move through the overlap. Finish leftwards.
10. Into the Fire (7a) ★
A superb route through an overlap and up the shallow black groove. Fingery through the overlap.
11. Augustus Gloop (6a+) ★
Another good route taking the hanging black scoop and the pleasant wall above.
12. Verruca Salt (6b) ★
More good climbing up the cracked overlap and the blunt rib above. Marginally harder than the last route.
13. Roald Dahling (6c) ★
Superb climbing on the upper wall after a problematic move through the overlap. High in the grade.
14. Umpalumpa Groove (5)
The obvious crackline has an awkward finish.
15. Ump and Over (6a)
Climb the blunt rib and pleasant face with tricky finish.
16. Beauregarde (6a+) ★
Face with awkward overlap and excellent face above.
17. No Regard (6b)
A difficult overlap is followed by a pleasant face above moving rightwards.
18. Is This as Good as it Gets (6c+) ★
Desperate entry onto face via groove and fine rib above.
19. It Seems So (6a+)
A short wall, pleasant groove and a steep finish to the belay.
20. Consider an Evil (6a+)
Another short wall and tricky overlap. Easier above via short groove.
