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
1.3 miles west of the Beige Siphon Tube is a dirt pullout on the north side of the road. Walk back east 50 feet to the gully and hike up and north 150 feet to the base of a west-facing wall. This is the Shark's Fin Wall. Stupid Igits is the bolted climb just [right] of the center crack (Shark Bait). Up past two bolts, cling and reach for the slanting crack to the right (stopper placement), smear up past one more bolt to the two [bolt] anchor.
