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
As the shortest climb so far, Tenacious goes up easy-ish terrain for 3 spread out bolts then heads left beneath blocky features. Figure out how to use the various laybacks, and try not to fall over the 5th bolt just over the lip, then continue past two more bolts to a set of chains. This route is pumpier and more technical than it looks.
Descent: rappel or lower from the chains. As of 9/2018, the upper portion of Tenacious is a project that is comprised of many large blocks that will probably easily come off if tampered with; it is a work in progress.

Location
As you approach from the west, step down from the cave-like overhang, and continue 10 more feet around a buttress (the start of both Rainbird and Redbird). Find the start of Tenacious in the corner.
The first ascentionist could not decide whether to grade the climb 10a or 10c...thus both are included in the name. Then again, maybe it will only seem like 5.8 or 5.9 for some?
