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
This 1 1/2 pitch route climbs the clean face between the prominent strait-in hand crack (possibly the Goodro route) and the edge of the big corner. Begin about 100' left and 75' up from Super Crack. The first pitch starts about 30' right of the top of the first pitch of Fallen Goat.
Scramble up some moderate 4th class to a belay bolt at some small trees.
P1- climb past 6 bolts to a bolted belay on the arete. 5.6 or 5.7 (130')
P2- Face climb past 2 bolts to join the 3rd pitch of Fallen Goat.
This is a great beginner climb. I was gonna call this climb Slabba-dabba-doooo! but I was over ruled.
