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
It ain't [Cochise]! This route is located about 40 feet north of No More War. It's the second crack system from the prominent right-facing dihedral. Pitch one ends at the same anchors as No More War while pitch two ends at two bolts near the top of Combat.
P1 Begin in the moderate crack system which [diagonals] slightly to the left. Above you'll hit a slabby face to the small roof (crux). Once you pull the roof there will be some placements and then another slab (5.9) which is runout. Belay from the anchors.
P2 Head up towards the right, clip a bolt or start from the left which looked a bit easier. Once above a band of chossy rock enter a decent hand crack followed by a small offwidth (solid 5.8). Once above the crack there will be a ledge of sorts. Head climber's right for about 30 feet to two bolts.
Descent: 1 60m rope. Bolts-anchors->slung tree->ground. 3 raps. 2 ropes=2 raps.
