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.

Description
On the far west side of Egg is a bolt line ascending the mottled, scrambled egg looking face. The crux is right off the 1st bolt, and is quite short. The rest of the climb max's out at 5.8 and is just plain fun slab climbing. It even has a nice LCC runout midway up! Follow the bolt line as it flows up through cups and edges to the 8th bolt. Here, shuffle right and belay at the "Variety Delight" belay in among the trees. To continue to the top of the formation probably taxes a 60m rope, but having never continued on, I couldn't tell you. Don't hike to the Egg without doing this route.
