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
Same start as Osprey. At 35', trend left, staying on the arete and face, staying 10-20 feet away from the crack system that makes up Osprey. Pass a small overhang. At a steep headwall, climb the obvious, right slanting crack to a stance below the intimidating final roof system. For the full 5.10 value, finish on the roofs above, toping out by pulling on clumps of grass to reach rap station, shared with Osprey
