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
This is the large crag uphill and East of Stone Slab. Four bolted lines are in: a hard project on the left is followed by two 5.11 routes in the middle and an 11- on the right. Sharp starts on some give way to bulletproof granite above.
Getting There
Approach from a separate trail 50 feet down hill from the approach to Stone Slab.
Stone Point/Slab/Rock lies 7.5 miles East of the Mall Road (in Estes Park) intersection and exactly halfway between the Jug Dome parking and Mary's Bust. There is a pullout on the North side of the road, right below the crags. Additional parking can be found 100 yards uphill or downhill from here.
