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 that have been traditionally closed will remain closed.
Please help us steward this area and leave no trace.

Description
Eat the Meek is a wonderful easy featured slab. The bolts are well spaced(expect 25' runouts in 5.5 terrain), but one is close by whenever you are faced with a difficult move.
Location
This route is well above the Egg proper.
Trudge up the gully past the west side of the Egg. Once above the egg, keep going as the gully winds around the right side of a clean slab. Eat the Meek begins where hiking up the gully goes from unpleasant to thoroughly unpleasant. 15-20 minutes from the base of the egg.
To descend with a 70 meter rope, rap angling well to the right, and then bushwhack down to the start. The intermediate 2 bolt anchor would let you reach the ground with 2 raps if equipped with chains. This seems like the only reason for its existence since the route is easily done in 1 pitch, and it would be great to be able to skip the nasty bushwhack.
