Description:

Starts a 100 feet or so right of Beginners Delight. Climb a short but tricky left facing corner to a ledge. Head left to a right facing corner past a tree to a ledge. Pitch 2 heads up a corner to a chimney, and the up and left to the GT ledge. Pitch 3 head up easily bypassing an overhang on the right(climb the overhang directly at 5.5 if you wish) to the top. Great easy climbing with tricky route finding. The belay/rappel tree on the GT ledge at end of P2 is now (Oct 2010) dead/rotten

4 out of 5 stars shaking the rust out

After a six weeks of toproping local crags due to weather and prior committments, it was nice to get out on a little trad. And on a Wednesday to boot!! Andrew and I decided to shake out the rust on something really mellow. Had never climbed Minty before and it has a couple starts, so up we went!

Andrew led P1, and I led the upper half in two pitches, belaying on the GT.

5 out of 5 stars Last climb in the Gunks...

This was fun... I followed Tadan up to Bags End then back around to do the 2nd pitch of Minty and then I lead the 3rd easy pitch. Ate BBQ Wraps at the top and rapped off Beginners Delight.

2 out of 5 stars One hard move

The beginning corner has one hard move; everything else is a run to the top. Linked 2nd and 3rd pitches.
