Per Julie Nelson: the forest is closed due to after fire concerns in this area until June 30, 2021. There is a sign at the trailhead about the closure. See the US Forest Service website for further updates.
Previously: per Bruce Hildenbrand: Storm Mountain Road is open to all.
Per Hank C: the Storm Mt./Cedar Park area is closed to locals-only traffic for the time being due to wildfire concerns. We were turned away by a park ranger this morning (9/12/2020).
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 route climbs an interesting protrusion at the start past two bolts and then joins the route Unknown 4 near its third bolt. To start, traverse in from the left or go up directly (a bit more difficult) to reach the first bolt. It's a long way between the second and third bolts (which looks like it was added after the FA), but the terrain is not difficult.
It's too bad this route didn't follow an independent line up the right side of the arete. The climbing over there looks fun.
Eds. This line originally one bolt. Tom Kohlmann, et al, added a couple bolts to make it leadable. It finishes at the same anchor as White Knob.
Location
Locate a green protrusion/dike about 25 feet downhill (right) of the start of White Knob (submitted Unknown 4).
Protection
5 bolts, the last two are shared with the route White Knob (submitted Unknown 4). This has twisted quicklinks at the top for rappel.
