Flew into Great Falls Montana where Danny picked me up. We drove to Bozeman and spent the night there before heading out the next morning to head up to Lady of the Lakes trailhead. We didn't get an early start as we knew the plan was to hike into Skytop lakes and stay there for the night before heading up to Granite Peak the following morning. We stopped in Cooke City to grab a sandwich before heading to the trailhead. There was only one other vehicle at the upper trailhead parking area by the old miner's cabin as it was a tough road to get up there, but we would be extremely happy to remove those extra miles on the hike out the next day. We started out at 12:30pm on Saturday towards the Skytop Lakes area. Easy hike in to Lady of the Lakes with lots of wildflowers in bloom which would be a theme of the day. We continued on and had to make a couple route decisions. We only saw two groups on our way out to Skytop Lakes and were surprised since the weather was perfect and the Beartooth wilderness area was stunning. During the way up we definitely missed the route a couple times (hopefully my GPX will upload). We made our way past Lone Elk Lake, Rough Lake, and the Skytop Lakes with some small snow fields to cross and some stream crossings, but other than that the way to camp was uneventful. We set our camp up on the far end of Upper Skytop Lake with a good view on Granite, which we would ascend in the morning. We started early the next morning (~5:30am) and headed for the SW Ramp route. We traversed over a boulder field that we could have avoided to reach the first slab. Making our way to the second slab was uneventful just normal talus and scree fields to get up to the cairn that marks the entrance to the SW Ramp. After a small class 3 move you can see the entire route ahead of you. We made our way up towards the top with little in the way of real difficulty. Towards the top when approaching the "gash" we encountered two pretty difficult class 4 moves that took some thinking and creativity. After climbing both of those it was smooth sailing to the summit. While on the summit a goat hung out with us and even stood on the summit rock while we were having a snack. We stayed on the summit for almost an hour with just the company of our goat friends before heading down. The only people we saw was a group ascending from the Froze to Death side. We had made the summit at 8:30am. On the way down we decided to take an alternate gulley that was in our beta to avoid the two class 4 moves we would have to down climb on the route we took up. The gulley we took was "ok" but probably not the easiest of the routes we could have taken down. The crux of the down climb was a small chimney with a drop of 8-10'. We were both able to make it down this section without too much difficulty and found ourselves back in the SW ramp with the remaining down climb not being too difficult. We made it back down to our camp without any issues and found 3 goats at our campsite. They were very curious as we broke down camp and filtered water from upper Skytop Lake. Again on the long walk out we only encountered one other group out in the backcountry. We did find some easier routes on the way back than we took on the way in, which was a benefit because by the time we made it back to the car our legs were dead. Overall, the best climb I've ever done out of all the ones that I've logged on here, which is probably apparent by this book I just wrote, but this is one I won't forget.
