The land is owned by the LDS Church; please be respectful of this. MORE INFO >>>
Unknown by many people, the land, from at the LDS Church record vaults up to and including the Gate Buttress is owned by the LDS Church. The privately-owned areas include The Fin, The Thumb Area, Green Adjective Gully, Schoolroom Area, and Gate Buttress.
Over the past 40 years there have been several closures of this property to climbing.
Currently, climbers are welcome visitors in part because of Utah's Land Owner Liability Law and the work of local climbers to preserve access.
In 1998 through 2000 this area was quarried and is presently under restoration and re-vegetation. The climbers' trail goes through part of this area. Please stay on the trail so that this area can recover.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.
You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description The traverse left offers hard, balancy moves...the crux. An amazing finger crack follows, which joins the main route at the upper lieback.
Location Climbs the thin left flake on the main "Flakes" route. Starts 15' up
Protection Same rack as for the Flakes, including some small nuts & cams

| Edit to say that obviously someone else did this long ago. Either way, its my new favorite finger crack in the Wasatch.
The traverse has classic balancy moves under a cool feature. (And Hey! you're going left this time!) Once you get to the finger crack you won't be able to keep the smile off your face.
If you do it wrong, this crack would deserve a little bit of a pg13 rating. However, its easy enough to figure out a very safe way to do the start. Nice to find another all gear protected line out there. |
