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
Crux near the top using crimpers on rotten rock. Once you get the feet and the upper flake things ease up considerably. If you are dying to make it to the top of the hesitation wall do this route. Otherwise, it is nothing spectacular. Runout climbing with small gear over rotten rock. Sounds fun eh?
Location
From the top of the first pitch of becky's wall on climbers left follow the vertical crack system up (this is hesitation 5.7R) about half way up the wall hesitation breaks right on a ledge system through some trees. on this ledge go left instead and you will be on hesistate no more. There are a number of variations possible. all seem to be about the same difficult. I went the way that looked like it had the best gear.
