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
Start at the somewhat vegetated left facing corner to the left of Crackpot's start. Scramble up blocky stuff passing first tree on the left, then make your way up decent rock to the right of second tree. From here work your way up and to the left to the top of the cave like feature, hand jam you way out the roof (crux) and work up the obvious crack to the belay ledge (Same as for Crackpot)
You can avoid the roof crux by scrambling up the easy blocky stuff to it's right, but the hand jam roof isn't that bad. Plenty of feet and good holds.
