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
Climb the low angle rock passing 1 bolt to a grassy ledge. Continue on good holds past 2 bolts to the crux at bolt #3 find the incut pinch and get high feet and make another move on thin holds to reach the low angled terrain with good holds. Plug some gear (I used a .5 camalot) and continue up to the small roof with a bolt (kinda runout). Pull past the roof on the left and past 1 more bolt ending at the chains.
