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
The Schnoz has fun climbing up to a boulder problem crux out the obvious nose feature. This is a good photo op with potential airtime.
P1. 5.11a. Start in the alcove just right of the toe of the buttress. Head up a right-facing dihedral, climb a small overhang, and then continue up the face to the base of the nose. Boulder out the nose to the chain anchors.
A 60m rope will probably get you to the ground but definitely to a ledge where you can scramble off to climber's left.
