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 route starts up the gully east of Callitwhatyouplease. Scramble up the gully, until you reach a flake system just before the arete. Climb up into this flake system, stand on a horn, and clip the bolt. Make an amazing move onto a chickenhead, and then continue up easier grooves, past one more bolt, and then across a very easy but slightly runout face. The last bolt can be easily clipped from this face and then figure out the tough moves past this bolt on an exfoliating arete. The rock quality here sucks (evidence of the popularity of this route) but given the right sequence the steep secion can be climbed tenuously. Then run it up to Callitwhatyouplease's anchors. This route has 2 distinct cruxes, both are well worth it.
