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
Mon Ami is NOT your friend.
Still cleaning up a good twenty years later, Mon Ami is a ridiculous dance between pockets and small chips. Starting off easy, this route immediately gets down to business after the second bolt. What looks to be a rather harmless face, turns out to be a rather brutal kick in the teeth. Mon Ami is a delicate line, and by delicate I mean deteriorating.
Climb up an amazing system of small pockets and smears passing two distinct cruxes, catch a quick rest or two, but don't get comfortable; finish on some fragile rock at a two bolt anchor. Wicked despite its somewhat poor quality!!
A fantastic line that will only get better or harder with more traffic?
