Details
Climbers Partner with LDS Church on Stewardship of Little Cottonwood Canyon Climbing
June 1st, 2017:The Salt Lake Climbers Alliance (SLCA), the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and Access Fund announce the signing of an unprecedented lease for 140 acres in Little Cottonwood Canyon (LCC). The parcel, known as the Gate Buttress, is about one mile up LCC canyon and has been popular with generations of climbers because of its world-class granite.
The agreement secures legitimate access to approximately 588 routes and 138 boulder problems at the Gate Buttress for rock climbers, who will be active stewards of the property. The recreational lease is the result of several years of negotiations between LDS Church leaders and the local climbing community.
Access Note: The climbs on the Church Buttress above the vault as well as the Glen boulders that have been traditionally closed will remain closed.
Please help us steward this area and leave no trace.

Description
At first glance, there aren't too many reasons to get in bed with this one. Short. Wide. Kind of Ugly.
But a wise friend once told me to flirt with the ugly ones too. First of all, they probably think you're ugly. Second, they might be kind of fun. At least this one has a wild finish!
Scramble to the base and climb the wide-ish crack to a stance. Unless you're just way into jamming, you can use the surprisingly huge jugs to face climb till you reach the handcrack. If you miss the beta on the finish mantle you'll be making it far, far harder.
