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
A sustained cold weather diversion. The falls probably don't freeze up solid enough to climb very often. When they do, it still might not be worth the effort.
Short approach from the standard Lisa Falls parking lot.
Crux may be just gettin' started. Thin ice, high water flow, and scrappy lower angle rocky diversions right and left.
Take care as its easy to punch through the ice and that water is brrr cold.

Location
This is the ice route which follows the streamcourse and falls. Only sustained cold will produce something remotely resembling an ice climb.
I seem to dimly recall that we down climbed, and, it was scary (high creek flow under thin ice on a very cold day with the finish over a deepish pool of water).
