"Goat Mountain via the northeast face, peak 1, 2, 3 (Peak 4 being the summit). We ended the trip with summiting Yamnuska from the Yam/Goat col. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but my feet were hating me by the time we got back to the parking lot.
A note of caution: I wouldn't go anywhere near the NE face with another group already climbing or descending. The whole face is loose. Even being careful, we caused a lot of rockfall. Using ropes on rappel will inadvertently send large amounts of the crumby face to the trail below. We disturbed a rather large flake that was barely attached to the upper slab, sending it crashing down with a pile of debris picked up along the way. Wear a helmet and mind your ropes.
Northeast Face - We ascended the 5.3 gulley mentioned in trip reports from Bill Kerr and Steven Song. While parties have pitched out sections of this, we scrambled all the way to the ridge. Despite how loose everything is, we found solid holds the whole way. Honestly, I didn't see much that I'd trust for protection anyway. As mentioned in other trip reports, trending climbers left after the gulley gets you to a slab. We we chose to climb directly to the rap ri..." — ivo • Jun 11, 2022
"I was interested in trying this route from Jura Creek. Some route finding and moderate scrambling to gain the ridge. It was windy and I bailed on the summit but now know the route will go." — Randy • Oct 16, 2021
"Pretty mellow day. Not much snow to deal with, attempted Goat as well, snow forced us into a couple 5th class sections. descended into Jura Creek, makes for a really nice walk. Minor bushwack to the creek just to keep out of some of the loose terrain. Fun day, loads of exploring can be done!" — justinj • Apr 10, 2021
"South side route up via Loder Peak then our large group continued northward past multiple peak outliers. Finally crossed a narrow and exposed sloping ledge with hand-holds that came loose - then up slabs to the summit of Goat Mountain. Enjoyed looking way down to the crowd on Mount Yamnuska. Returned more-less the way we came, two more hand-holds came loose off that ledge, made a side-trip to "Outlier Peak 6" where the highlight was a narrow chimney-crack to access it. Then returned back via Loder Peak southward to parking lot." — geoffc • Jun 9, 2018
"via NE ridge from Yam col with A. Kane, descending via Loder and Door Jamb. rope used on one 15 ft rappel on ridge. Later scramble ascents from reverse direction and twice from SE slopes and ridges. Also descended to Jura creek once." — KrisT • Jul 27, 1986
