Access Issue: Access issue - Monastery, Cedar Park, Combat Rock, etc. - open since 2023
Details
Update: per Bruce Hildenbrand: the area has been open since 2023.
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 the only bolted route on the upper tier of Jug Dome and is the most obvious and unique line. It follows bolts up a wide groove in the center of the face, which can be climbed using all manner of technique, from crystal crimping to chimneying. The bolts end at a ledge from where one can rappel from a 2-bolt anchor, but we continued left and up easier ground to the summit, after which we walked off to the west. A word of caution: my partner Chad broke a hold before clipping the first bolt. Like other routes at this newly-climbed crag, you should test all holds before committing to them.
