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
Boulder up a short, steepish face with a crack in it that is squeezed in 10' to the right of Pepe LePue. After surmounting a small step it backs off. Continue up following the slightly vegetated crack, finally surmounting a steep step with a crack in at the top.
Stinky Stash now shares the last 15' (the steep step) with this route and as such has two bolts on it that were not part of the original ascent. There is adequate gear for competent gear leader so pick your poison. These two routes also share a common top anchor - however the anchors are on a fully detached block of rock. It is probably okay but one never knows.
