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.
Right of the upper falls, at the base of a steep ugly looking gully, are 2 routes. This is the right route that climbs the nicer angled face. Be carefull of the gully on the right as it is LOOSE. This 5.10b is not to be confused with the other 5.10b in this area. Not steep, not pumpy, only short. Thin edges and crystals, Not a solid handhold on the climb. This is one fun climb.

3 draws for the climb and 2 more for the chains at the top.
