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
A nice mixed route with a bolt protected crux. Begin the first 15 feet using a dark runnel protected by small cams or nuts. Head up and just left towards the only two bolts, then finish in a gear protected corner. Stop at a two bolt/sling anchor.
Location
Just right of
Whiskey & Weed Power and just across the gulley from
Tower 1, look mid-height for two lone bolts.
Protection
Small gear and two bolts protect this line, nuts and cams up to 1" should do just fine. Anchor is currently two bolts and tied runners, consider rapping the line.
