Access Issue: Gate Buttress Area Recreational Lease: Climbs on Church Buttress above vault remain closed
Details
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
The prow and face above All Chalk, No Action. Good finger edges lead diagonally from the Touch Up dihedral heading toward the arete. Climb the arete (crux) to a good rest. The final feldspar-coated headwall should keep your attention. The route joins Touch Up at its final belay. Steep, exposed, challenging.
Location
Climb Touch Up, All Chalk or Revenge of the Nerds to gain the large belay ledge. From here the route heads up the overhanging orange wall/arete above. 60m rope is enough to lead and lower back to the belay.
Protection
All bolts
