Access Issue: Gate Buttress Area Recreational Lease: Climbs on Church Buttress above vault remain closed 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.

SLCA and AF recreational leased area on LDS Church land

Description

The Glen Boulders are on private property with posted no trespassing signs. Please don't climb here as the possibility for future access depends on climber's good behavior now. Access to other areas would be jeopardized by trespassing.

Getting There

The Glen is about a half mile up the road from the gate buttress parking lot, and a hundred yards up canyon from the "Stick Boulder". Park on the south side of the road just uphill from a nice roadside boulder. There will be an electrical box 70ft up canyon from a boulder that has been quarried. A trail starts by the quarried boulder, and another by the electric box. The main area sits behind the quarried boulder.
