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
1.3 miles west of the Beige Siphon Tube is a dirt pullout on the north side of the road. Hike 50 feet east to the gully then 150 feet up and north to the base of the west facing rock. This is the Shark's Fin Wall. The first line of bolts left of the center crack are True Colors. Go straight up the bolt line to a good stance at a horizontal seam. 5.10. Without using the rib on the right, smear up a few feet, (5.11), then up over the roof to the 2 bolt anchor.
