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
Right of Plumb Line and Zot, is a wide crack that starts bush and tree choked. Climb this to the top of it. The initial moves seemed harder than 5.6, and the rock was rice-y. The crack chewed up my hands, and the trees detract a lot. Getting above the trees, I realized that I did not bring enough wide gear to finish it safely and backed off of it. It looks from this point to be very fun. If the route cleaned up and the trees weren't there it would be a very fun wide crack.
