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.
Location
Directly below Osprey. Instead of following the trail up along the face to start Osprey and Heroine, go left below the small buttress.
Description
Start with your feet jammed in the crack, hands matched out right. Traverse to the pointed outside corner and make a big reach off a thin heel to a good hold with a small rhodo growing in it. Make a hard mantle to get your feet on the face, and top out on good holds.
A good V1 goes through the small overhang 25ft right of this problem on the 20' face.
