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
Climb the crack of
Glue Factory, and when that climb leans to the right, step left into the straight up, easy to protect hand crack. It is hard to say that this is the first ascent.
Location
Climbed in the fall of 2009, this is the low angle hoof of the horse head buttress with
Glue Factory. There are now bolted anchors at the top of this climb as an effort to clean up the buttress.
Protection
Standard rack.
