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
This is a bolted route that has adequate and safe natural gear placements from bottom to top so pick your poison - bolts or gear.
As a gear route it is probably the best on this wall. Start 4 feet to left of the bolts and boulder up a steep face, continue up the headwall (by passing the bolts and placing gear) to the anchors. Excellent gear protects the headwall moves to the top. Take a #1 and #2 BD-sized cams for these moves.
As a bolt route follow the bolts. Boulder the first part and continue up the headwall.
