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
Start up to the right of the large crack in front of the Impact Zone Boulder. Ascend the lower face to the large ledge. Head up a face on nice, sharp edges to a small roof. Overcome the small roof, and establish yourself on the upper face. Now it’s time for some technical soul searching... do I cheat waaaaaay out right or do I stay near the line of the bolts? Your choice, and both can be exciting! At the last bolt, exit either left to the chains at the top of Domino Theory or head up and right to the top of The Pedestal.
The route is named in honor of Pablo's unique footwork.
CAUTION: toprope, lower, or rappel with at least a 70m rope, and tie knots to keep you from tumbling down the scree!
Location
From the west, traverse along the cliff bottom, and step down a few steps at a cave-like overhang. Continue east under a buttress (the start of Rainbird and Redbird) around to a corner (Tenacious), and find a large boulder, the Impact Zone (so-called due to the propensity for plunging projectiles to impact in that area). The route is found just in front of the large Impact Zone Boulder to the right of the crack.
