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

I'm sure this has a better name, let me know and I'll change it.
Same goes for any of the routes listed, I don't know what the proper names are.
This has several easy problems on the South face, I didn't get into much else on this boulder, though it looks like many more all around!

Easiest descent is on the East side to the South of the large pine.

Getting There

This is the first boulder you come to after crossing the stream and turning West.
In the current (late Autumn) conditions, it is possible to cross the stream directly to this boulder from West (down canyon) of the parking area. Higher water will require walking East to cross and doubling back.
