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
The best line on the boulder. Start on the white, low rounded hold, with a couple options for feet. Make a big move up left and another right. Then do one of the stranger moves around, and use the iron dyke to get better established on the wall. Then finish up and right.
Aesthetic, fun, and a little spicy.
For a little more power endurance, consider adding Dick Van Dyke onto the start of this. I've heard it's in the v10 range for that linkup, and that seems about right.
