Per Julie Nelson: the forest is closed due to after fire concerns in this area until June 30, 2021. There is a sign at the trailhead about the closure. See the US Forest Service website for further updates. Previously: per
Bruce Hildenbrand: Storm Mountain Road is open to all.
Per
Hank C: the Storm Mt./Cedar Park area is closed to locals-only traffic for the time being due to wildfire concerns. We were turned away by a park ranger this morning (9/12/2020).
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
Climb past two bolts on the right side of the arete before making a delicate traverse around to the left side of the arete (crux). At the third bolt, climb back onto the right side of the arete, and follow that to the top.
The route is named in honor of Evan Jager who won a silver medal in the 3000m steeplechase at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Location
This route is located at the bottom of the Vestibule about 200 feet downhill and on the same side of the corridor as
Tabular Rasa.
Coming from the Outer Gates through the Hallowed Hall or the Inner Sanctum, this route might be mistaken for
The Hot Zone which is still up the trail about 200 feet to the north.
Protection
Five bolts to a two bolt anchor with links and rings (all hardware is SS).
