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
While standing at the base of Valentine Crack, look east and you will see a grey sling coming out of a left-facing flake. This is the route (about 50 feet right of Valentine Crack). It starts on a face to a short hollow-looking flake, up to a groove with a piton. From here the climbing picks up with a face move to the flake, place your red Metolius, and swing left past the second piton, continuing up the tricky to protect crack. Here we deviated from the guide and continued right under the roof to a belay stance 20 feet above the top of Lunar Tick. The book show it climbing just left of the roof, but there were no anchors and the other spot looked to be a better belay stance. This climb has a couple of noteworthy sequences, interspersed with either easy, gritty, or insecure climbing. All of the awkward side movements are where the excitement is.
