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
Left of the prominent trad crack is a bolted route that runs up to chain anchors. The start is sharp and a bit runout to the first clip (traverse right). This is followed by beautiful and strenuous climbing that fires up an offset, right-facing corner for 25 feet. This is followed by another 25 or so feet of face climbing on largely very good stone. The offset corner felt very powerful, and very finger intensive. This route reminded me of climbing at Security Risk in Boulder Canyon: hard, a bit runout but certainly not dangerous, and on excellent granite. This is great find for whomever put it up and one of the best single pitches in the BTC.
