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
Ok climbing up mostly solid rock. Big jug climbing 90% of the way followed up by a scary leftward traverse over suspect rock. Most people feel the crux is traversing over the rotten rock clipping the bolt in the middle of the traverse and then proceeding to the anchors with wrap rings. A couple of bolts do not become evident until you are right to them. The bolts are hard to spot from the bottom. You must have faith!!
Location
This route is the southern-most route on the west side of cosmic web wall. It shares the first two bolts with unknown right of chimney. There is a long runout over easy terrain between the 2nd and 3rd bolt. One may be able to slip a piece of gear between these two bolts if desired. The climbing is pretty easy however.
