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
A classic climb rich in history. Equipment Overhang is roughly in the center of the main wall and easily spotted by its canopy roof. Fun crack climbing leads to a good, tough face climbing protected by a bolt. Climbing up and over the roof is much easier than it looks. but once you pull the roof get ready for some standard LCC flared excitement. It's a great route, is well protected, but it is very sustained, and the finish isn't exactly easy. At least half of this route is good, hard 5.10 climbing
