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 an exciting and airy pitch that climbs the golden hanging slab in the center of the cliff.
25' above the starting ledge is a small pine growing out of the cliff. Directly above this pine is a big right-facing corner capped by a big roof. Wake The Flake starts up this corner, via a surly little fingercrack through a bulge / roof, then traverses out right onto the slab to gain the hanging flake out there. Follow the flake until you're higher than the big roof in the corner out left. Step left into the corner above the roof and topout as seems logical.
Location
and Wake The Flake start in the same spot: on the left end of a small ledge system just left of the center, tallest section of the cliff. This ledge is 40 feet higher than the actual base of the cliff and is reached by an easy gully scramble.
