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
Pitch 1: Climb up a thin flake for 20'. Move right to another crack and follow it to a roof. Traverse left here to a bolted belay, 5.8
Pitch 2: Climb over a small roof and friction past 2 bolts (5.9) to a steep headwall. Make a long, easy traverse right past some trees. Move up and right to an arete with chickenheads. Climb this past 2 bolts to low angle area which is traversed to an intersection with Tingey's Terror. Part of this route is mentioned in the Granite guide as "Right Stairs".
