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.

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.
Benny getting into the thick at the base of P3 (photo from top of P1, it would be better to connect P1+2).
