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
This is the central route on the formation, and the climbing is very nice and interesting.
Start on the left side of the crag, as for PBB. Continue right, past the start of the obvious PBB crack, to the start of an incipient crack, left of the edge of the lower face. Continue up (RPs or equivalent), to a horizontal break, straight up and past a single bolt to a stance with a funky gear placement (#1 or 2 Rock/wire). Move right a bit, and continue straight up to the finish with PBB.
From here, one can continue to the top of the formation (not recommended), and make two, single-rope raps from trees; the first being easy to find, the second down a grassy, low angle ramp to the east-ish.
Alternately, one can escape to the climberÂ’s right and belay. From here, the lower tree is down the grassy ramp.
