indepedence pass

has anyone been up to independence pass recently, is it climbable yet?

Climbed there last weekend, it's definitely in. Grotto wall was extremely sunny and kinda too hot. We went to Wild Rock, which involved crossing some snow and flooded streams, but provided good shade climbing.

Hit up Lincoln creek on the last day, we had to post-hole through knee deep snow in parts, but it still didn't take more than 30 minutes. Some cliffs looked very wet, but we climbed at Sunset and it was dry and pleasant.

Have fun.

btw, the Lincoln Creek rd. was closed (as for Saturday), and so is all camping in that area. Weller and Difficult were open, and crowded.

I was up there a couple of weeks ago. The sign by Lincoln Creek said it would open Mid June. Hoping so as I am heading up there tomorrow.

thanks for the info and the link

Most of the crags are fairly dry. Some of the deeper snow drifts are still around in the trees and at the base of some climbs, but it shouldn't keep you off of much. Lincoln Creek Road is now open.
