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.

An Overlooked Gem
Locate the steep western arete feature that has a small and mostly flat starting area nestled between a few small maple trees to the right and a rock corridor to the left. Find the true sit start on obvious low crimps which lack any really good places to start your feet. One of the crimps is a thin, yet solid wafer-type hold. Find your magic body position, crimp hard, and throw your left hand up and left to a slopey left facing rail. Next a long move with your right hand to another beautiful sculpted sloper well above head height when you are sitting. Reset your hands and position and go big off the slopers with the right hand to the distant yet positive lip. Another move with the left hand to a huge edge and a final long move to the top lip of the boulder.
