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.

Description

The first very large boulders you’ll face after passing the Syringe/Heroin boulder and hanging a right at the fork. It’s a large triangular boulder with a nice V0 arete on either side. Hard to miss — it’s pretty directly on the path and is no more than 90 seconds or so from the parking. The right arete of the boulder is distinctive for a series of manmade drilled grooves every several inches all the way up, and is the easier of the two aretes.

NOTE: this boulder is liable to be destroyed by the incoming gondola, so get on it while it still exists.
