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 crux of the boulder is most likely trying to throw for a flat jug. Start with your right hand on a roughly 15mm crimp and your left hand on a decent sidepull/ undercling. Start with your feet on a small boulder underneath the problem. Make slaps with your right hand on the arête, and move your left through the bad underclings in the lower corner. Place an aggressive heel hook when you throw for the flat jug, then traverse barely left on good jugs. Move your heel hook to your ear to make daring moves up the crystal pinches. The topout is fairly easy if you can stand up from the heel.
