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
A fun 2 pitch route lookers left and slightly downhill from Horns of Satan and the North Face Gulley. This thing is sports the steepest pitch at the Devils Castle!
P1: Belay on a ledge with a steep roof overhead. Pull the roof and follow the bolts and 1 pin to the 2 bolt belay. This belay stance kind of sucks, but whatever.
P2: Pull another roof to begin and continue up that nice yellow glazed limestone (aka the good stuff at the castle). The pitch is predominantly jugs with one reachy move. After the crux you'll funk your way up a cool dihedral with some more huge holds and finish with an airy traverse when you're nice and pumped. Belay on a really nice ledge at a 2 bolt anchor.
Descend with 2 one rope rappels. The first rap is 90% free hanging so watch your rope ends and kick off the wall just before hitting the p1 station. The second rap is chill and deposits you right where you started.
the granite guide has incorrect beta for both route length and protection needed.
