Access Issue: Gate Buttress Area Recreational Lease: Climbs on Church Buttress above vault remain closed
Details
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.

Getting There
Park at the White Pine TH. The trail starts on the north side of the road just west of the avalanche sign and is marked by two lines of smaller rocks. Head uphill and slightly right through the (thick) fern until you see the avalanche carnage. Stay on the left side of the carnage until the trail splits. Turn right and follow the trail until it splits again after 10 yards (there is a small rock that marks the second intersection). If you keep following the trail it will cross the carnage and bring you to the "Crimpin Connies" boulder. If you go uphill you will get to the Great Divide and Blue Balloon boulders.
Don't trust the GPS locations on mountain project, they are inaccurate. Based on the pictures:
Crimpin Connies - 40.5777000, -111.6800000
Great Divide - 40.5784490, -111.6811730
