Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (2 February 2003), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
The ridge direct from the summit of Goat Hill looked tricky, so we went back a bit. The traverse is generally easy. Two gullies to cross near the final descent track; the first is quite deep and steep.
