Access Issue: Area closure - now lifted. Previously: Storm Mt./Cedar Park road is reopened to all
Details
Per Kurtz: The Monastery is open again! fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DO….
Per Julie Nelson: the forest is closed due to after fire concerns in this area until June 30, 2021. There is a sign at the trailhead about the closure. See the US Forest Service website for further updates.
Previously: per Bruce Hildenbrand: Storm Mountain Road is open to all.
Per Hank C: the Storm Mt./Cedar Park area is closed to locals-only traffic for the time being due to wildfire concerns. We were turned away by a park ranger this morning (9/12/2020).

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 a very enticing line from the ground and an adventure for the senses when high in the air. Approach the climb from above, via a shelf and conveniently tilted boulder behind the flake mentioned in Gravestone.
The climb begins with the crux, a no-feet problem stepping over from the boulder to the wall. Bomber incut holds lead upward to a crystal museum of sorts, the rock changing in texture and patterns with height. The second crux can be avoided left, easing the grade, or straight up on awesome edges. Rap 40' to the ground.
