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

Small boulder revealed by the 2023 avalanches. Easily visible from the parking lot, a crack runs through one boulder and a face of the second boulder can be seen in the avalanche path.

Getting There

Short easy bushwack - with everything currently knocked down. From the west end of the parking lot look north, boulder hop and then maneuver through the trees/brush. Less than 5 minutes if you know where to go, maybe 10 if you search for the best footing.
