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
A tricky height dependent start leads to a cruiser top.
P1. 5.9+. Climb up to the small overhang, stem and jam around it, then go up easy plates in the right-facing dihedral above. Angle left at the top to anchors shared with the three routes to the left.
Be sure to rap and pull your rope to the LEFT of the tunnel to prevent a stuck rope.
It's also possible to continue up right to the upper half of The Outer Edge, and rap from those anchors.
