Trip Report: 11,744′ Independence Peak, CA – “Independence Couloir” Report from June 27, 2023 11,744′ Independence Peak, CA’s “Independence Couloir” yesterday was a mind-bender! This was #18Â of our 20 “new-to-us” ski mountaineering lines Eastern Sierra project 2023.

I thought about turning around at breakfast at 4 am, on the drive down, immediately upon hitting South Lake, near Treasure Lake, at the bench below Thompson, and even halfway up the Couloir, where I considered down climbing.
