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
Climb the varnished, featured face with a piece or two of gear then clipping a bolt before you either a)move straight up and onto a ramp across the little chimney with a little runnout mantle to a stretch clip OR b)move up and left on good gear towards a big belay ledge. Then climb the face to the right of the blue collar crack for another 4 bolts on the cool slab including chickenheads and a thin dike with edges. (ok, not really edges but fingertip crimps in the varnish)
