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 first couple moves are on dubious rock, then it is fun and sustained climbing on great rock to an incredible summit.
P1) 5.11a. Move right around the corner at the first bolt, continue up the SW corner of the formation swinging right through the crux at the 6th bolt, then follow the crack to the anchors.
To descend, rappel the route then scramble down to the Levitation anchors (behind and climber's right of a big rock that is down and climbers right from the base of Swingtime). Rappel 60 meters to the ground (see the photos).
Location
See the photos.
Approaches:
1) Climb Levitation or one of the other central slab routes, then scramble up to the base of the route.
2) Walk left around the west end of Main Crag. Head up to the base of the wall then angle up and right, following cairns, in a trough. Scramble up behind Totem Tower and across to the base of the route.
