Independence Monument

April 23, 2017
Independence Monument, Colorado National Monument
Otto's Route
3 hours to summit.

2.5 mile hike in to this tower with amazing views.
Go off belay between P2 and P3. Walk thru the time tunnel to lunchbox ledge.
Weirdest route ever! Interesting with drilled holes for pipes and chopped steps. Single set of cams to #3 is plenty. Twin 70m ropes get you down in 2 raps.

Beautiful area!
