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 boulder is to the left of the downclimb. I'm not sure of the name, but this name seems to be used.
I found this boulder in the middle of the pipe-side of the pipeline boulder. The most obvious thing to do was to use the arete with my right hand, and then work up to a slick shelf at 8-9 feet. From there, you can cheat right (makes it about v4), or you can boldly go up and left (which could be why this is called v6 sometimes). I don't know. It's a bit spooky going up and left, but the rock is good, and the moves are great.
It's also possible that "Tim's" line is further to the left of what I climbed today. Let me know, and I'll change the name and grade to whatever it is supposed to be.
