The land is owned by the LDS Church please be respectful of this. MORE INFO >>>
Unknown by many people the land starting at LDS Church vaults up to and including the Gate Buttress is owned by the LDS Church. This includes, the Fin, Thumb, Green A, Schoolroom, and Gate Buttress. Over the past 40 years there have been several closures of this property to climbing.
Currently, climbers are welcome visitors because in part of Utah's Land Owner Liability Law and the work of local climbers to preserve access.
In 1998 through 2000 this area was quaried and is presently under revegetation. The trail goes through part of this area. Please stay on the climber's trail so this area can recover.
Description
This is the right line of bolts above Beckeys Wall 1st 2 pitches. Approach as per Pebbles and Bambam, and climb the flake system on the far right of the starting ledge. You will climb through this into the 3 bolt line. The crux is bolted and again is a nice way to finish Beckey's Wall. Good rock with a bit of flakiness in February (probably cleaner in summer). Descend as per Pebbles and Bambam.
Protection
3 bolts and a 2 bolt anchor. Some gear is needed for the initial flake system.
I am changing my rating to two stars due to me leading the entire route this time as opposed to just finishing on it (don't ask). The gear in the flake is shaky and small, but the climbing isn't too bad (5.8'ish) at that point. Only two bolts as well. That 3rd bolt is actually part of Pebbles and Bambam. More frictiony than Pebbles.

Is there any pro between the traversing ledge and the flake? I ran it out 40 feet. Maybe a 00 TCU or small offset nut in a shallow flare (I had neither). Fortunately, the climbing is easy through that section.
