Ptarmigan Tunnel to Ahern Pass Goat Trail, #3 [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Ptarmigan Tunnel to Ahern Pass Goat Trail, #3
The last of the three pictures of the actual goat trail. This trail is absolutely amazing—during parts of it the concentration level matches that of a technical climb! But boy, is it worth the effort! Photo by Vernon, July 20, 2005.

Saingrizzly.

That traverse really appeals. Where within the park is it? Although I'm over In December I'll have to leave this until another trip in the summer. Amazing.

That could be on Tofana or in the Brenta. Amazing secret path there!

samhAn Amazing Journey

Voted 10/10

I got beta on this route from my friend and co-worker Kyle Sharfe (who's dad, local legend Don Sharfe owns Rock Mountain Outfitters in Kalispel, MT). I had climbed Gould the day before and was looking for an exciting route from the Granite Park area down to Swiftcurrent on my weekend off from work on the Middle Fork Trail Crew. Kyle was working on the Granite Trail Crew and he suggested the Ptarmigan Route. I borrowed Edward's book from the staff at Granite Park Chalet, jotted some notes on a piece of paper and headed off. It was the most terrifying route I've ever been on and look forward to the day I can do it again.
