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
3-Wheeled Coffin begins by climbing the inset slab between the opposing, overhanging arches. Climb the steep slab past 3 bolts to reach the roof feature. Contort yourself over the bulge/roof to a good stance on the left. Step right into the corner crack, and climb it for a body length or two to where you can pull back out left onto the nice orange face. Follow the bolted face up and slightly left to where a pair of right-angling overlaps slash across the cliff. Continue steeply straight up past a few cam placements, crossing the angling overlaps to a final bolt protecting the outro onto the slab and anchor above.
Location
Walk left (West/Northwest) past the routes on the Wind Tunnel's main wall, and continue around the corner on narrow ledges to reach a large, perched ledge with sweeping views up canyon. This is the West Balcony, which gives access to the very steep alcove above it, and the severely undercut wall to its right.
3-Wheeled Coffin is currently the furthest left route at the Wind Tunnel. It is also the longest, at 100', and provides a varied adventure to the top of the cliff.
