Great fun with Nathanael! Most hikers stop at the Instagram photo spot ("I think the photo must've been 2x zoom" is what I overheard 😂), but well worth the fun ridge walk.

Trip report:
Outram plans fell thru, so Nathanael and I headed out to Goat Ridge.

Pretty steep up, but there was only one rope section that was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I just hiked up past the ropes.

A bit more cumbersome moving along the ridge compared to Goetz, and therefore was not as fun as Sunday's adventure. I'd highly recommend Goetz Peak!

We made it to the summit in about 3h 45min, then I went scouting to the end of the ridge to see if there might be a way to descend...

Goat is a dead end. Prove me wrong 🤷‍♂️

I did, however, find a nice way off the ridge, that drops down to the valley below Northgraves. Eyeing up the route from Goetz to Northgraves... we'll see if that one happens this summer.

Way back was much better, as we stayed higher on the ridge whenever we could. We took a bit longer than anticipated, but still made good time. Thought it could take 5hrs... but we're not Mitch and Ihor 😂 what was I thinking 🤦‍♂️ 

There were some really fun sections of gigantic boulders to play in. Definitely my highlight. Got down soon after we started hearing thunder ⛈️ 😬
