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
This is a 4-bolt extension of Highway to Hell which adds a thin technical crux to the 9+ climbing below.
Clip the anchor of HtH long or skip it in favor of a bolt a few feet higher then tackle a dihedral on excellent gray rock, milking small crimps and sidepulls to span what looks like a blank section. Once established above the dihedral a devious bulge guards the way to the anchors. A whale of a time can be expected on the last few moves.
