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
The well protected right-facing corner with two large roofs. Begin on a narrow ledge 15ft above the trail with rhododendron and a maple growing on its left end. 30 feet downhill and left of this is a flat spot in the trail at a boulder with a finger crack (Henry's Hangout 5.11) Dougher and McMahon originally graded this route 5.5. With more traffic, this route would be excellent. Can be done as one pitch.
P.1 5.7+ 120ft
Up the corner past two trees to large roof. Finagle past the awkward roof and belay just above it on small to medium sized gear.
P.2 5.6 60ft
Move up to the second roof and pass it on the right. Up a short wide crack (only need .75s) to a tree. The tree blocks the way, so we swung left onto the short white slab to the top, with better exposure. Belay at a horizontal with finger sized gear.
Descent:
There is no rap station. Walk off up and left and descend down the power lines, or rap off one of the hemlocks 30ft to the left (not recommended).
