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
Beauty and the Beast has a fun, steep start followed by a beautiful slab. The so so rock at the start leads to bulletproof granite higher.
P1. 5.10a/b: climb past three bolts then left out an overhang. Diagonal up and right to a fourth bolt, lacing TCUs in horizontals, then head straight up or right to a crack. Continue straight up and turn the overhang at a large horn then climb past one more bolt to the anchors shared with Footloose.
