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.

Description
Triangle shaped boulder just off the trail below The Devil's Castle. The Tacos Diablos boulder has 3 sport climbs on some sharp limestone and goes into the shade around 11 am in the summer.
Getting There
Park at the trailhead for Cecret Lake and begin hiking as for Cecret Lake taking a leftward trend after about 15 minutes of hiking. You cut left off the cecret lake trail just after the "Wildflowers: More than meets the eye" interpretive sign. Then go right when the trail dead ends on a well worn trail. The trail will take an uphill for a few hundred feet and then curve hard left towards the talus at the base of Devil's Castle. As you emerge from the woods you will see the boulder on your right.
