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

First set of substantial rock formations on the east side of the trail at about 2 1/4 miles. Set in a ponderosa, lodgepole, juniper forest with some good shade on the east side slope. The south side of the wall has an obvious section of overlapped rocks. Secluded except for the trail. Bring a wire brush for cleaning. There is a lot of lichen on parts of the rocks. I climbed parts of several routes not listed and didn't finish due to the lichen factor. A top rope may be useful on parts of the Overlap Wall as well.
