FYI,Both Goat routes end at the 3 bolt belay. One wonders at first why they elected to install 3 bolts here, but Brian informed me it was wet that day and they were concerned wuth longevity and seeking a place under an overhang where the gear would stay fairly dry.

Also, one notices a huge length of chain (like 20feet!) directly about 50 feet across to the left of this anchor. I couldn't figure out what this was, and first thought it was for the ice climbing in the winter. I was incorrect, and after talking with Brian, it was installed to secure a huge boulder up there! It would be a killer, for sure, so thanks to Jonathan and Brian for doing this. Much appreciation! Please do not think, as I first did, that it was alot of chain waiting to be kipped....it does serve a purpose!
