Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Falcon Closure Details

A temporary closure of Mt. Minsi within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DEWA) to climbing and hiking will be in effect starting February 14, 2023 to protect nesting peregrine falcons.

The closure is: "The cliffs at Mount Minsi from Point of Gap parking lot to Arrow Island parking lot, from the west shoulder of Route 611 to the top of the ridge, in the Pennsylvania District, will be closed to rock climbing and hiking through approximately early August to prevent human disturbance to nesting peregrine falcons."

Official designated trails are not affected by this closure, meaning hikers can still use Arrow Island Trail and the Appalachian Trail. Official trails and maps are located on the park website at: nps.gov/dewa/planyourvisit/…

Closure signage will be posted near the parking areas.

Description

Shaded most of the day, stays wet throught out morning on somedays. Sevral worthwhile routes exist here. 2 bolts exist on the 80' high belay ledge angled/positioned for proper rope threading for rappelling.

Getting There

Park at the Cold Air Cave pulloff. It's the third pulloff on your right if you're coming from the town of Delaware Water Gap. up on the side there should be a little cave with some graffiti on it. Go on the trail heading up and right, a few trees will be marked with blue blazes. You should be going up next to the large scree field. The first wall that the trail comes to is called the practice wall. To the left of the practice wall, around the arete, the first left-facing wall is called the CAT WALL. Pussy toes starts where the obvious traverse ledge to the practice wall starts at ground level, and goes pretty much straight up from there. You will come to a belay ledge with some bolts about 80' up, right next to the second tree on the wall from the ground. Second pitch is more obvious.
