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
From the paved parking area 1 mile west of the Beige Siphon Tube, hike uphill east to the obvious chimney, (an old Jim Disney route 5.7). Continue north for 60 feet, and turn uphill hiking to the back side of the chimney. 5 bolts. Unclimbed (5.12???) A crucial hold broke off while I was working it and made it to hard for me. Have at it.
Per JF M: there is an alternate approach to Paradigm Shift: a steepish gully just down-canyon from the pullout will follow a more direct line to the route.
