Scramble up 2nd-3rd class to the prominent col west of the summit. 

  Just before the top of the col veer right onto a 4th class ramp.  Climb left through steeper "shelves" before the walls ahead and left become more vertical.  Climb right onto a large scree field.  Follow the scree field veering right as it becomes steeper, and then move through ledges and shelves to a steep gully that will deposit you one steep scree ledges beneath the summit.  Scramble to summit. 

  This is the recommended descent if climbing the more technical East ridge.

West Ridge

East Ridge

From the col between West Twin and Goat Rock scramble over a bump to a nice belay ledge for the first pitch.   

  P1: (low 5th, ~55m) Climb up from the ledge, and then slightly right through a steep section to mellower terrain.  There is a large, shattered/broken horn than provides a solid anchor. 

  P2: (low 5th, ~45m) Meander up from the large horn anchor to a large ledge at the base of a prominent dihedral feature.  Get creative for an anchor; there isn't much obviously reliable besides the crack in the dihedral corner (but how this option will work as a belay depends on how you ascend the next pitch). 

  P3: (moderate 5th, ~50m) Climb the dihedral or blockier terrain climber's right of it.  Options are likely 5.6-5.8.  Meander above the dihedral to relatively flat and broad terrain near the summit.  Get creative with the choss for an anchor. 

  While this route is easy to moderate fifth, generally enjoyable, and features great views; reliable protection and anchors are hard to come by and the rock is very loose. 

  The more difficult sections seemed to offer protection where needed, but the route is otherwise EXTREMELY runout and fall due to a slip or loose rock would be catastrophic. 

  Descending via the West ridge is recommended as it's basically a 4th class walkoff.  Reliable anchors for 1-2 rappels can be found if not comfortable with the downclimbing.

It's stupid AF that someone named this Goat Rock; goats don't live in this habitat; it's sheep country.
