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 that have been traditionally closed will remain closed.
Please help us steward this area and leave no trace.

Description
A fine piece of rock that climbs like a sport climb with gear placements. Seems like you get a good pump on this one but it eases up at the very top. This route is the first part of Mother of Pearl which can be divided into three pitches.

Do yourself a favor and keep going higher, to the top of the wall. Oct 13, 2010

Definitely place another .4 camalot under the roof from the gaston stance before initiating the crux moves or you will hit the ground. Great climbing, and not R. Bring quite a few small tcu sized pieces up to .5 camalot. May 19, 2012
Yes, the rockfall did raise the start up.
It used to be a lot more spooky than it is now.
Also I'm just guessing that Brad Gilbert, Lynn Wheeler and Jeff Alred, back in 1980 didn't have the swank BD racks of 2012.
None the less take this all the way to the top of Mother Of Pearl and
it's one of the best pitches in LCC. Oct 7, 2012
