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
The Master Scriptorian climbs the beautiful, white tiered slab exposed by the rockfall that eliminated Mountain Monkey Swing (K. Davis, B. Robins, 1985). Scramble 200 feet up the left side of the Great White Icicle--easy 4th to 5th class--to the base. Climb balancey moves on crisp edges past two bolts. Mantle the first roof, then stem your way up the corner, taking advantage of the small wires and cam placements... Mantle past the second roof and onto the steeper slab above. After two bolts, the climbing eases as face holds and cracks appear. Belay from a stance on a protruding block; the bolt can be backed up using small wires or cams.
