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 in front of the slab and make your way up toward the gutter. Gear is limited through the gutter, then pull up through the notch. From there, there’s some easy climbing trending upward and slightly right. You’ll then move through a couple of notch like mini roofs. The original end kept heading up about 30 feet to a tree, but that tree is long gone. Instead, after the third notch, start traversing left onto easier territory. The traverse is really good, keep heading left and up, taking you past some solid gear and airy moves. Nothing too hard, but watch out for loose stuff sitting on the ledges. Finish at the Black Hole bolts and belay from above. Rap with a 70m to the ground.
