Start: Goat Creek parking lot just south of Whitmans Gap

Difficulty: Initially a good trail with switchbacks up a steep forested slope. Higher up the new trail has many steps and 3 sets of wooden stairs. Beyond the end of the new trail, the final ascent is on shale and rubble and though hands are not needed, a little routefinding may be required.

Note: Recent measurements by Gerard Lachapelle, Professor of Geomatics at U of C and avid hiker show the height of the summit above sea level to be 2474 m, accuracy 1 m. The elevation gain from the parking lot is 810 m.
