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 a crux start followed by fun face to anchors shared with the next three routes to the right. Sort your gear on the table at the base.
P1. 5.10d. The height dependent crux is getting established in the dihedral at the start, then you get fun face climbing protected by cracks. At the top, head right to anchors shared with the three routes to the right. Alternatively you can head left at the top to anchors on Blue Plate Special and either rap 115 feet or continue to the top on the second pitch of Summit Fever.
This can also be approached by climbing Squat Tower and scrambling off the back.
It's also possible to continue up right to the upper half of The Outer Edge, and rap from those anchors.
Location
Start in the first right-facing dihedral about 10 feet left of the bolt line Shelter From the Storm (just left of the tunnel behind Totem Tower).
