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
For me the crux was the 8 foot offwidth near the top. The rock is sharp and painful on the knees. Just right of the second bolt is 5.6 slabby. Start as for Hook "N" Ladder (clipping the first two bolts for protection), but stay in the groove right of the bolts. Gain a small stance on top of a wedged bolder. Clip the bolt on the left face (last bolt for the face climb " Tip Toe Thru the Tulips") and squeeze up the offwidth. I soloed this route to gain access to the top of the rock to set anchors for the other climbs.
