There are about as many Goat Ridges in the world as there are goats! This particular elevated geomorphic landform starts along the Sea to Sky highway and ends, rather abruptly, at Sky Pilot Mountain. Access is steep, but it is a bit more foreshortened when accessing from the Britannia Beach FSRs. I have done this once, many years ago, and recall a very beautiful subalpine landscape.
There is a bit of a risk that we will be too early in the season. However, my efforts on the ridge have typically been this time of year, and bootpacking can be possible. To improve our attempt, I advise microspikes and a mountaineering axe. If we encounter snow, then it will likely be in the trees when an uncontrolled slip could be costly. Outside of that, I think standard hiking fare is acceptable. There is a chance that it will be a hot day, so dress accordingly.
The route is described by AllTrails, along with a few other sources. Note that I am not proposing the route from Petgill Lake, the longer but more scenic version. Please feel free to inquire if you need more details.
We shall meet at 6:30AM at St. David's Church. I am coming in from North Vancouver and can transport people en route. Otherwise, transportation will be discussed more thoroughly in the forum.
There will be one friendly dog named Ansell in attendance. He will take his own vehicle.
