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.
This area is essentially made up of routes that are continuations of many of the classic routes on the Gate Buttress.
Descent
Scramble left/west to Sky Surfer & Schoolroom Descent or rappel from stations on the routes.
History
Some of these routes may have seen portions of them climbed many years ago but if so they never cared enough to report them. Nobody knew much about them so most people just ignored them. Some formal routes were eventually established and protected.
