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
Per JF M: four routes (three bolted routes and one gear route, all with chain anchors) are currently established on this set of jagged twin faces. Friendship Seven and Left of Seven are on the east-facing, down-canyon wall of the same name, while Every Which Way But Loose is on the east aspect of the rib 15 feet up-canyon. Trash Can follows the corner created where Trash Can and the back side of Friendship Seven meet.
Getting There
This is 1.3 miles west of the Beige Siphon Tube. Park at the Dirt pullout on the north side of the highway. The crag is directly in front of you to the west up the steep face.
