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
At red wine wall and between the routes Azal Tinto (5.8) and Vino Ardanza (5.9) is a poorly (in my and my partners opinion) bolted line. There are currently 7 bolts with mad rocks hangers on the route and it ends at a two bolt sling and biner anchor.
Both my partner and I thought the movement was around 5.7ish and could lose 2 or 3 of the bolts on the line.
If anyone has any more info on this route regarding the fa, etc, a message or email would be appreciated to update this page.
