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 that have been traditionally closed will remain closed.
Please help us steward this area and leave no trace.

Description
Stem up through the spike from the Crescent Crack Direct variation and clip first bolt. The crux here is to not pull on the draw and do the cool mantle onto the slab. Clip next bolt then set up belay at the two bolts. Beautiful slab that wanders a bit left and right. runners could be helpful on a few of the bolts to reduce rope drag. If done as the finish to Crescent Crack this route has it all.

Crescent Crack drops down the ramp then off (past the squeeze crux, then up the crack until the easy ramp appears). You can set a belay either prior to that ramp, then lead the next pitch to the fixed anchor on the final face, or, climb up past the ramp and set an anchor, or, drop down the ramp and set an anchor. Any of those options kinda work.
Final Link is super and a great way to top out the buttress. Apr 9, 2007

Getting to the start of the route by climbing the direct finish to crescent is tons of fun and the slab is reminiscent of a well protected S-direct. I don't think that the "wandering" takes anything away from it, clip very bolt with a long runner and the rope drag remains minimal.
If you do it after work it's worth chilling on the ledge for a while and watch the alpenglow on the south side while the city slowly lights up.
Rap in the tree infested gully to the east and do a night ascent of the coffin for the perfect linkup! Jun 24, 2008
