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.

Access Issue: Private Property - may not be open Details

Per Shayna Jones: I have been told that there is an update on the ownership of this property. The owner now in control of this private property does not want climbers accessing the property, as she has concerns about liability for anyone climbing on the property. She asked that climbers please stay off the property at this time.

This climbing area is privately owned. The owners allow climbing but asks that no bolts or fixed anchors are installed without express permission.
