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 our pick as the best route on the rock. It has easily the best stone especially above the bulge. This is the 2nd to last route on the left (W) end of the cliff with a prominent roof at mid height. Wander past 3 widely spaced clips on moderate terrain to get to "The Business", a steep, tricky to read sequence to gain an underclinging traverse that leads left below the roof. Pull the roof, grab a shake, then do some fantastic crystal pinching up the slabby face above leads to the rap anchors (single rope 60m).
