| toddschwarz | Two-fer Sunday: Independence and Cache  Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2009 | |
| This is a nice morning or afternoon (but beware of thunderstorms). The brush is a little dense here and there, but the south ridge of Independence over the white quartz blocks is great fun! Stay to the east (basin side) of the ridge for the least vegetation and easiest hiking. | |

| Arctic3 | Climb with My Daughter Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2009 | |
| My 13 year old daughter and I came in from the lake trail, hiked to the far end of the lakes, scrambled up to the ridge and then followed the ridge to Independence summit. On the descent, we headed north down other side. At the bottom we followed a boulder field with a hidden stream back east to the trailhead. | |

| Did this one before Cache. I liked the hike better for Independence than Cache, but both were nice hikes. | |

| mountaingazelle | Up South Ridge, Down Northeast Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2006 | |
| After climbing Cache Peak I went back down to the saddle and followed the south ridge up to Mount Independence. There were still some snow cornices on the ridge. Then I followed the northeast ridge and descended back down to the first Independence Lake. | |

| I climbed via the south ridge in conjunction with a climb of nearby Cache Peak. Took the dog along for the trip. He had trouble with the large boulders while ascending Independence and the brush and trees on Cache. | |

| Climbed this pretty little peak with my wife and our dog. A great quick outing with stunning alpine scenery. Can be easily combined with bagging Cache Peak next door (which we didn't do). | |
