Peregrine Falcon Closure Lifted MORE INFO >>>
As of June 12, 2013 Mt. Minsi cliff is reopened to climbing.
The temporary climbing closure that was in effect for Mt. Minsi on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area has been lifted. The resident peregrines failed to nest and will likely not try to nest again this year. The closure will likely be re-implemented in January 2014.

Description "Climb the middle of the cat wall starting right where the "Cat Walk" traverse to the practice face begins. There is a bolted belay next to a medium size tree directly above, halfway up the wall. It is 5.5, but you may have to hunt for the 5.5 moves, a direct line will be a bit harder. Gear in the beginning seemed sparse, better up high.
For P2, the crux is right off the belay ledge. Start just left of the belay/tree and move up in an alcove, Get good gear and pull the overhang, then sprint up 70' of easy terrain to a small tree and second set of bolts.
Descent - Rappel the route in two raps with a single 60m rope."
-Larry S.
Location Starts on the left side of the Cat Wall.
