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. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This route starts up the gully east of Callitwhatyouplease. Scramble up the gully, until you reach a flake system just before the arete. Climb up into this flake system, stand on a horn, and clip the bolt. Make an amazing move onto a chickenhead, and then continue up easier grooves, past one more bolt, and then across a very easy but slightly runout face. The last bolt can be easily clipped from this face and then figure out the tough moves past this bolt on an exfoliating arete. The rock quality here sucks (evidence of the popularity of this route) but given the right sequence the steep secion can be climbed tenuously. Then run it up to Callitwhatyouplease's anchors. This route has 2 distinct cruxes, both are well worth it.

Protection 

Anchors for Callitwhatyouplease, plus 3 bolts on route.
