Acadia Falcon closures?

I'm heading to Acadia in a few weeks and hoping to find information on what walls might be closed for climbing, in particular the Precipice Wall/South Wall.

From the NPS site at https://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/conditions.htm it looks like the closure area extends due east from Precipice Trail parking lot, but maybe doesn't continue south to include the more southern Precipice Wall/South Wall.

Can anyone confirm this? Is it currently possible to access the Precipice Wall/South Wall without violating closure areas?

The South Wall is generally unaffected as the closure begins just beyond the Central Slabs.  So while there is some climbing off limits (the Parking Lot Wall and the Matt Ritter classic, Legion of Decency being the biggest thing that one could miss out on), you can expect the South Wall itself to be open for business.  Have fun!
