This climbs a line that is mainly contrived. Climb a slab through corners and roofs. Finishes left.

24 Karat

This route climbs up between two corner systems past a drill hole and then past an iron rod (don't impale yourself) it continues up passing many bolts and gear placements.  

  It's best to extend the bolt that is further left than all the rest.  

  There are many bolts in the last 20ft of climbing, and fewer at the bottom.

Start in a deep corner and climb a steep blocky roof with a crack.  Continue direct on easier ground with bolts and gear mixed.

Currently unfinished.  Located on steep ground between the two sections that have routes.  Hard crux.  Nearly complete.

This route is to the right of 999. the first bolt is 20 or 25ft up which is the PG13 section, it might be possible to put a larger cam in a crack about 15ft up.

Same start as 24 Karat, moves left after the first bolt and follows the very clean arete through super thin moves.  After the 7th bolt you can move right to meet with 24 Karat, or continue the route direct through several more bolts and gear.

begin on big ledge,    Climb overhanging layback,    Rest on good foot ledge.  

  Climb fun finger crack,    Shake out, enter pumpy crux,   Place many small cams. 

  Now you are so pumped,   Climb long section of 5.10,    Clip chains, you finished.

This route, like most of the routes at Independence, seems haphazardly bolted. Either you're climbing through run out terrain with poor gear or clipping a bolt every three feet.  

  Fun techy climbing on pinches and side pulls.  

  There is a runout to the chains which can be protected by a weird cam or a brown tricam.

Start high on the cliff left of the main climbing area.  Move immediately right over a roof and into a corner.  Follow the bolt line with a crux near the top.

This crag is located above Independence Mine. I has several lines from 5.9 to 5.11. Most of these require some gear. There are plenty of scenic qualities in this area, including the original 1908 mine shaft. Keep in mind that these shafts are very, very unstable and shouldn't be entered.
