Closed Indefinitely MORE INFO >>> As of January 31, 2013 Mt. Minsi cliff is closed temporarily, albeit indefinitely, to allow for falcon nesting. Every, effective January 30th, a temporary climbing closure is in effect for Mt. Minsi on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area when peregrine falcons attempt to nest on the cliff. As in past years, the falcons will be monitored and the cliff will re-open as soon as the nest is no longer active.

Description 

Just right of Chieftan, up typical dirty first pitch to belay at tree 20ft below ominous roof.

Up to the roof, lean out place great gear, take many deep breaths and go for ride. Clear the lip and immidiatly move right and up to good stance. Plug in the biggest piece you got and now to really go for a voyage. Move left navigateing a difficult and awkward wide crack. Hanging belay from tiny gear.

Pitch 3 goes straight up. Small gear (#1 camelot fits in a pocket protecting the giant reach). IMHO; the best route at the Gap.

Location 

Located in the Land of the Giants area

Protection 

#4 camelot mandatory, (#5 may be even better),
Mostly G.
