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
This climb ascends the right side of the slab. Start on the first half of "Prune Face", then follow the bolts continuing straight up the slab at the small overhang instead of traversing right. The first section is amazing, especially considering it was originally done with only one bolt! Thin moves up a groove and over the steep section at the begining place you on the slab proper. From the stance above the first bolt, move up thin slab climbing with the occasional solid hold thrown in. You don't want to be falling right before the third bolt. Once attaining the stance below the small "roof", clip the fourth bolt and start up continuous slab moves to the 8th bolt. I angled left here to the belay station instead of moving up to clip the last bolt. All in all, quite the entertaining moderate slab climb.
