Took the 'standard' route to Grey Cap, which I hadn't done before. From the Kraft Trailhead, you take the trail up to the top of 'Hell Hill', then descend down into Gateway Canyon. From there, you follow the wash to the sandstone, then scramble up to the summit. Not the most direct route, but it was fun. Once at the summit, we decided to traverse the ridgeline down to Goat Bed Peak. It wasn't as straightforward as it originally looked, but is definitely doable.
