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 left cave start at the year of the lamb cave. Use a left-facing sidepull/pinch to match hands just to the left of the undercling used for leap year. Pull on and move right into the start of gap year and finish as for that problem. Unique movement compared to the undercling start of GAP year. Can also be linked into year of the lamb and year of the spamb. It is a little dabby, but an enjoyable problem.
For clarity: The first move is RH to a nose-like undercling ( the same used in the direct cave version ) and the RH stops on the left facing jug rail before moving across your body into the start LH undercling of YOTL. There are big holds up and left from the start, but the boulder at your back prevents suitable use, if someone moves this boulder it will open up new variations. The big jug and undercling in the center of the cave are on and also used for leap year. The holds on the arete are off for this variation
