Sounds like you've reached you're own Nirvana ... good on you ! ... 👍

As mentioned, the Goat Rocks, like most of the Southern Cascades is a collection of choss piles .. that being said, its one of my local favorites.
The Goat Rocks traverse is actually fairly common and is usually accomplished from the North Folk of the Tieton River which provide easy access to the PCT via Tieton Pass and an eastward looping traverse ending with Bear Creek Mtn.
If interested ... check with the FS on access up NF-1207 ... I believe there may be some issues due to floods in recent years.

Cleaning out the closet. I have the following items posted on Craigslist.
My preference would be local pickup/exchange in the greater Vancouver/Portland area, I really don't want to deal with shipping if I can avoid it.

this blows ... I recognize it's been a challenging business environment made even more so now with e-commerce .. I'm glad to see you will be able to keep it going I thank all the MEC employees, past and present. Best Wishes to all

agree with DPS ... .this late in the summer, the Sherpa is very rarely an option for decent or ascent ... the shrund gets pretty sizeable with pretty significant vertical wall of rock hard glacial ice.

Whoever called the LR the "classic climb" was wrong. I've climbed this ridge twice and each time my partner or I were an inch away from being hit by a flying rock. The PR is a much better and safer objective. There is nothing aesthetic about LR either. The bottom line, the LR is a boring dangerous place.
Keep in mind ... 30 ~ 40 years ago, Lib Ridge, Willis Wall and the rest of the north side of Rainier was a bit different animal

"the brotherhood of the rope" .. I always loved that phase

I'll third the motion for CCW ... I've been using a Chernobyl and a custom Valdez for a number of years, (Chernobyl has got to be pushing 20 years old by now) ... rock solid, bomber construction and great customer service.
The custom Valdez (40L) Randy made for me included a padded, Chernobyl like hip-belt with gear/tool loops for a better carry with heavier loads, replacing the newer fixed crampons straps with his original design of daisy chains and removable/replaceable straps along with a couple internal daisy's
A 40L pack on a 14.5" torso could be a challenge ...

Wow ... that sure brings back some old memories
