Access Issue: Access issue - Monastery, Cedar Park, Combat Rock, etc. - open since 2023
Details
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
Classic! Not on a Weak Day is a challenging route that is in your face with a little bit of everything. Classic hand and fist stacks are followed by a powerful and tenuous lieback then an overhanging face at the top. It has one of the best sections of offwidth on the Front Range. Prior to the FA we checked out Randy Leavitt on YouTube to get pointers on hand and fist stacking.
P1) 5.11. Climb the obvious overhanging offwidth to a stance, power up the lieback passing two bolts to another stance, then angle right and up passing two more bolts to the anchors. Save the number four for the top.
Location
On the upper tier of the main cliff above Totem Tower, it is located on the left wall of the gash left of Swingtime. It is immediately right of The Outer Edge. See the photo.
Approaches include:
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 cliff then follow cairns angling up and right in a trough. Scramble up behind Totem Tower and up to the base of the route.
