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
This has tricky slabbing to start followed by a fun overhang and thin cracks.
P1) 5.11a/b. Climb the slab past two bolts (crux) to a small tree. Head straight up passing a small overhang to another small ledge, then go up an easy corner and left to the chain anchors.
Location
This is the rightmost route on the cliff. Start behind a tree.
Protection
Four bolts, TCUs to 2 inch cams, and a small to medium stopper.
