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.

SLCA and AF recreational leased area on LDS Church land

Description

This is the first boulder you come to on your way to the Shivers boulder. It is just over head height. Its east face is slightly overhanging; its west face is slabby and there are shot holes all the way up the gentle northwest arete. A good boulder to warm up on for the harder problems nearby.

Getting There

Park same as for the 5 Mile Boulders, in a pullout on the south side of the road, just down canyon from a 5 mile marker sign on the left. Head down the dilapidated gravel and wood stairs, pass the Syringe/Heroin Boulder on your right, cross the LCC trail, and head straight into the forest on the other side. The My Special Purpose boulder is the first boulder you come to.
