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
We came up to bolt this and realized... oops. This has fun face climbing with a spectacular view from the top. Stays in the shade until early afternoon.
P1. 5.10b/c. Climb the face past 6 bolts to anchors. Be sure to step right at the top and check out the view.
Location
It is in the large notch at the top of the main cliff. This is 100 feet uphill from Swingtime.
Approaches include:
1) Climb Levitation or one of the other central slab routes, then scramble up to the base of the route.
2) Walk left around the west end of Main Crag. Head up to the base of the wall, then angle up and right, following cairns, in a trough. Scramble up behind Totem Tower and across to the base of the route.
