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
Follow chickenheads with fun mantles and two really bad bolts(not one as in the Ruckman topo)supplemented with small nuts and cams through an overlap and into a flake and crack system with fun jamming.
Location
This is on the middle tier of the east side of the Waterfront and can be approached from Disco Duck or from the ledges and gully above and left of Paranoia Streak. You can also walk over from Touchup with a little exposed scrambling. The route proper starts left of Beam Me Up Scotty but we didn't feel comfortable gaining the ledge where it starts so we climbed out of the gully right and traversed over to the climb. This is an exposed way to do it so we roped up and clipped some gear but I'm sure there is a better way to get over there.
