Access Issue: Access issue - Monastery, Cedar Park, Combat Rock, etc. - open since 2023
Details
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
The start has proven itself to be difficult for some, but don’t be afraid to use the wedge. Not doing so makes it a bit harder. Once established on the climb, clamber up jugs to a nicely feature face below a roof. Step up to the roof, clip the bolt on your right, and make your way through it. Continue up blocky features, and step onto a face and arete feature to finish at chains.
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). Continue under and beyond the IZ Boulder, and find a severely undercut face with some smaller boulders beneath it. The Pedestal is the left route, and Bashful is the right route.
To the right and around the corner from The Pedestal and Bashful, you will find a large, sharp-edged wedge of a boulder at the bottom of a large crack system. Just to the right of this on the left side of a beautiful slab is a line of green ascending the wall. This is the Green Hornet.
