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
Autumn Gold climbs a fun, steep face on ramps and plates.
P1. 5.8 or 5.9. Climb Enigma, Mystery, or Conundrum to its anchors.
P2. 5.10a/b. Angle up and left avoiding the massive hollow flake above the belay, then climb the headwall past two bolts. Continue up past two more bolts to a large alcove and the belay.
P3. 5.9+. Climb out the left side of the alcove then angle up and left to the left of the two bolt lines. Climb up past three bolts then sling a horn to protect the second and traverse right to the anchors.
P3 Variation 1. 5.9. Climb out the left side of the alcove, then up blocky terrain to bolts on the rounded arete and face on the right. Climb plates to the anchors.
P3 Variation 2. 5.8. Climb out the left side of the alcove then up the crack/groove between the other two finishes. FA: Bernard Gillett.
Descent: do three rappels. ***A 60 METER ROPE IS REQUIRED.***
