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 is a route we bolted several years ago but were never able to put together. I took Aaron up there today ,and he fired it! This has great power endurance climbing on bullet rock with a very powerful crux.
Scramble up to a high first bolt at a curving, thin crack. Climb the crack to a big ledge, and clip the next bolt, then unclip the last bolt below you. Turn the corner, and decipher the undercling crux using cryptic feet, then keep it together through power liebacking, crack, and face climbing that progressively eases to the anchors.
There is a two bolt direct start that has not been freed yet.
