Is climbing in Mokuleia and other areas still prohibited? What about bouldering?

Here is the beta directly quoted from RC user USNavy (Sayar Zalobki):
In reply to: The area is still legally closed, but it is not physically closed, there are just tons of signs that try to scare you off. It does not look like we are going to be reach an agreement with the state, so climbers have just been ignoring the signs and climbing there anyway. Because the area is not paroled and it is in a remote section of the island, no one has had any issues so far. My advice would be to just climb and dont worry about it, the signs are mostly there to try to scare you off. Just make sure no one sees you hike up the trail or come back down. But you are only viable for the first 150' of the approach, after that you will remain unseen. If by chance the state does drive by and see you, the road they would come in on is about 600' below you and fully visible from every route at the crag, so you can monitor what is going on. But the employees of the state are mostly fat and lazy, and the approach is constantly uphill, so they would never come up after you. But again, people have been going up there weekly without issue.

Wow. What an incredibly assholish approach.
Not that I would expect any less from USN00b.
