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
Crux near the top using crimpers on rotten rock. Once you get the feet and the upper flake things ease up considerably. If you are dying to make it to the top of the hesitation wall do this route. Otherwise, it is nothing spectacular. Runout climbing with small gear over rotten rock. Sounds fun eh?
Location
From the top of the first pitch of becky's wall on climbers left follow the vertical crack system up (this is hesitation 5.7R) about half way up the wall hesitation breaks right on a ledge system through some trees. on this ledge go left instead and you will be on hesistate no more. There are a number of variations possible. all seem to be about the same difficult. I went the way that looked like it had the best gear.
Protection
Mostly small gear. Standard rack up to #3 camalot should suffice. Extra, small cams are recommended. Long runners. Ends at chain anchors.
