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
Move above the pin which marks the start of this climb. The mantle leads to some loose love as you cruise some 4th class terrain and pass a pin or two.Place some pro and move up into the tall V slot. Continue up a shallow corner and as you do so keep your eyes out right for this routes lone bolt. From the bolt move up and take aim for either of the climbs above. ( "What's you Talkin''bout Willis?" or "The Gary Coleman Corner)
If you come to visit Dana at the right time she may provide you with quite a suprising treat.
