Goat Mtn. waterfall ice

[Goathorn]

I've heard a rumor of waterfall ice on Goat Mtn. Anyone been to it or know where it is. On my Greentrails the northside of Goat Mtn. just south of Twin Lakes is a promising looking gully. Any conformation on that?

not on goat, but close:

climbed a good route on the south side of "granite peak" years ago. this is point 6124' on the green trails map and lies just east of mamie pass. ski or drive up to the hannegan campground. the route took a gully system up the south face and was about 5.7 with ice to 80 degrees plus some brush hauling. i think we only belayed about 3 pitches but one was real thin. follow snow slopes and easy steps to the top of the peak and descend via mamie pass. this may be more of an early season/low snow year route as i recall being able to rodeo my bald-tired econoline up the road. have fun.

a bunch of ice formed up on goat and lots of other mountains during that November cold snap. The routes were like 3 pitches of wi3 w/some 4.

Basically you gotta wait for a pre-snow cold snap (unless you are lucky) so when that happens, anything with water will be an ice climb.
