The shortest access around the west side of the dump has heavy equipment operating during the week and should be avoided. Instead, use the access around the East side of the dump; it's longer but safer.
Description
Kid Goat has several single pitch and multi pitch sport routes as well as a few classic trad routes. The rock type is limestone of moderate to poor quality, though the trade routes are typically of very high quality. Climbing is best on Sunday when the dump is shut down, otherwise it can be very loud while climbing.
The longest routes are 6 pitches long and come in at ~200 meters. The wall is a great place to try limestone, trad climbing before moving on to Yam. The wall is east-facing and gets plenty of morning sun. It takes longer to dry then Yamnuska, try from April on.
Getting There
From Highway 1 take the turn off for Exshaw, same turn off you take to Yamnuska. Drive north to the T-intersection and turn west. 2 min down the road there will be a parking lot on the left hand side and a dump on the right hand side. Park here. Hike around the west side of the dump until you hit a series of old loggig roads. Trend generally to the gully between kid goat and nannny goat, watching for a cairn on the left hand side. Turn up the hill at the cairn and climb up to the wall. The trail will lead to the sport routes on the northeast end of Kid Goat wall.
