Access Issue: Gate Buttress Area Recreational Lease: Climbs on Church Buttress above vault remain closed 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 badger...think of the badger. Make your dreams wet and cinch your stomach down (clutch).

The frosting is just the tip of the cake on this one. Put your body through two holes. Don't even think about touching the first one...but the second one? Let it caress your sweet, smooth bod and rip holes in your brand new Brandy Melville brand t-shirt. As you exit the hole, simply walk over to the other hole and go for another lap...or 2, or 3 or 4 or 5 or many.

This is about as good as it gets. And this is just the part of the iceberg that's above the water, there's a lot more iceberg where that came from!!!

Location

Start on top of the Baggins cave. Downclimb the Baggins Early Exit without dabbing, then traverse right through good slopers and finish on the one and only Wormhole.

Protection

pads and 4 rings and a necklace
