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
Climb stacked blocks on the NW corner of Totem Tower. Wild summit!
P1. 5.9-. Start In a left-facing dihedral, then follow cracks to a very large, sloping ledge formed by a massive wedged block. Clip a bolt, and climb to the anchors. Clip the anchors, and mantel to the summit where a bolt allows you to relax and enjoy the view.
To descend, climb back down to the anchors and lower/rappel.
Location
This is on the NW corner of Totem Tower, in the trough between Main Crag and Upper Tier, Main Crag.
It can either be approached by hiking up the trough below Upper Tier, Main Crag (see that approach) or by climbing Squat Tower and scrambling off the back.
Protection
A standard rack with one bolt.
