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
A good route with some hard pulls at the bottom followed by a nice slab. The second roof has a tough mantle then chickenheads to the top. A little loose rock at the start but bullet-proof after that.
P1. 5.11a. Clip the first bolt with a long sling, then power through the height dependent crux overhang. Continue up the slab to the second overhang, clip another bolt, grab a jug and mantle onto the slab above. Chickenheads lead to the chains.
Variarions:
1) 5.5. After the crux overhang, follow the crack in the right-facing dihedral then step left onto the lip of the overhang and up to the anchors.
2) 5.8. After the crux overhang, the nice slab right of the dihedral has been toproped.
