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 tricky roof with an almost unusable sloper rail. I had envisioned how this would climb, but it ended up being much different because the features were so difficult to use. Honestly, I almost gave up on this one, but after an hour of fidgeting I finally found a solution.
Start with an LH sidepull edge on the rail and a RH sloper on the rail. Then figure out a couple of tensiony moves on grainy slopers to a huge jug and an easy slab to the top.
It might be possible to do a lower start on a decent undercling below the rail. This is a lowball that is a great option for a solo bouldering day.
