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 route starts up the gully east of Callitwhatyouplease. Scramble up the gully, until you reach a flake system just before the arete. Climb up into this flake system, stand on a horn, and clip the bolt. Make an amazing move onto a chickenhead, and then continue up easier grooves, past one more bolt, and then across a very easy but slightly runout face. The last bolt can be easily clipped from this face and then figure out the tough moves past this bolt on an exfoliating arete. The rock quality here sucks (evidence of the popularity of this route) but given the right sequence the steep secion can be climbed tenuously. Then run it up to Callitwhatyouplease's anchors. This route has 2 distinct cruxes, both are well worth it.
Protection
Anchors for Callitwhatyouplease, plus 3 bolts on route.
