Access Issue: Access issue - Monastery, Cedar Park, Combat Rock, etc. - open since 2023
Details
Update: per Bruce Hildenbrand: the area has been open since 2023.
Per JF M: as of May 2022, there is no signage on-site, nor information on the USFS webpage for the Cameron Peak Fire (nor on their published map of closures) that indicates the area is closed.
Per Bruce Hildenbrand: it appears that the Forest Service has closed access to all the climbing areas accessed via Storm Mountain Road (Monastery, Cedar Park, Combat Rock, etc.) until they can clear all the dangerous dead trees from the Cameron Peak fire.
I worked this issue with Eric Murdock at the AF, and it looks like the Forest Service picked Devil's Gulch Road as the southern boundary even though all the climbing areas on MP.com were not burned.

Description
Hop up the short blocky slab 5.4 past one bolt. Skip left at the top of the slab to the second wall which is set back 8 feet. Hop up the upper section past 5 bolts (bolt 2 is suspect. It is set well but may be in a thick plate that is hollow behind it, 5.4 in that area) Continue up past 3 more bolts, 5.7 crux at 4th bolt of upper slab where moves thin out and become a little reachy. Good easy to moderate lead.
Location
Park 1 mile west of the Beige Siphon Tube in the paved wide spot next to the road. Same as for Sign Crack, Paradigm Shift, Beer Slabs, and Disney Chimney. Hike east up the talus from the parking to some broken slabs 30 feet right of Disney Chimney. Rap bolts are in the best place offered by the rock. They are set back 6 feet behind the top of the climb. One doubled rope rap to bottom. If you don't like the anchors, there is a solid tree 25 feet up and to the right. If you check the beta photo under Paradigm Shift that shows several climbs, this route is just out of the photo to the right.
