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
Another clean slab on the Cube, but this one is a bit heinous.
The crux is getting established on the wall. Start near the left arete with a left hand sidepull and a high one finger crystal for the right. Commit to a bad right foot and then work straight up on small edges, aiming for a big right hand sidepull feature. Escaping right is another option, though I think straight up is the natural line.
Location
To the right of Smooth Sailing, and left of the Corner Project.
