Location Suggest change

Located 3 miles up the trail, just before the turn-off to the Finger, and only a few hundred feet above the trail. On the far left side of the Ranger Danger cliff band is a detached 210' block; "Billy Goat Bluff". It is viewable from town. The route starts in the center of the face that faces the trail.

Protection Suggest change

P-1, .9 fingers and hands for 70'. Belay at Metolius rap hangers on a nice ledge. Standard rack thru 2", nuts. Starts at small roof.

P-2 .10+ vertical layback seam with bulges. 140' sm nut(rp), a few med cams, 14 draws.

Two ropes needed to safely rap the route; rap down 130' to the right, on to a dirt ramp right of the first pitch. Or, if you only have a single rope, do a mini summit pitch and descend Rams Way, using tat around a chock stone + approach shoes.

There is a single shut 30' below the top, at the crux.

on-site Suggest change

The Billy Goat got it's first on-site Dec 2 2017, nice job Greg.
