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 is a great route that doesn't seen enough traffic. You start by doing the first pitch of the Great Chockstone and belaying on top of it. The second pitch is the business and is a bit scary getting to the first bolt. The climbing's not too hard but the pro is kinda sketchy in flaring cracks - don't fall. Once you clip the bolt, you continue to the small roof which you traverse under to the right. Use TCU's or small nuts but leave room for your fingers. The crux is pulling out right and getting established on the arete where there's a thank god pin. Then more spicy slabbing past two bolts gets you to a nice belay. The third pitch is more face fun at 5.9. After passing a few protectable cracks you end up on the Final Link slab which you can join half-way up and continue on to the top. From here you can wrap down to the Coffin with a single rope.
