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 tricky little problem, as eluded to by the name. It's a fun test of footwork and your ability to problem solve. Start sitting in the corner at the far right side of the boulder and use both sides of the wall to head up the seam and top out on the final slab.
Location
Seems Easy can be found towards the end of the Farside trail, just before you reach the Surprise boulder. Follow the directions for getting to the Farside, then pass the highly clustered boulders containing problems like The Buzz and Alzheimer's. Eventually you will need to keep heading down and right, towards the stream. There is currently a fallen log across the trail which makes the point where the trail veers downhill easy to miss, and other trails have been worn in as a result but they will not take you as directly to Seems Easy and Surprise. Continue on for a few hundred feet and just before you reach the Surprise boulder, Seems Easy will appear on the large boulder to your right. Many other worthwhile problems exist on this block, from V0-V7.
