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 (3 cruxes up high)
IINT is an excellent techy route that wanders up the belly of Tower 2 and takes you through a series of three cruxes.
Moderate climbing on good holds brings you to a dark roof with a high 4th bolt. Work those sidepulls to surmount the right side of the roof and keep going on small but positives holds and the occasional savior pocket. A second bulgy crux brings you back left for a pumpy finish up a steep section which seems to be bare of holds.
Clip the anchor and lower or if you feel real manly tackle the uber-gnar two bolt extension proudly FFAed (and named) by JS (see comments). It is reminiscent of the finish of Deja-Vu with a steep bulge on thin holds.
