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
The crux is just prior to first gear (10 feet) and near the pitons at the top. It is a fun trad route, but beware of the large, rectangular block 30 feet up.
- **WARNING - Do not pull on or step on this block. If it comes out, it will kill someone****.
The rock is solid for the most part. Fun.
Location
Park at the friendship 7 pullout (1.3 miles west of the beigh tube). Walk west to the climb ironjohn. 15 feet left of ironjohn is a gully. Traverse up a faint trail on the right side of the gully 50-60 yards to the base of the climb. Look for the large loose block and the pitons near the top.
