In the 1970's I used to climb all over that mountain photographing Mountain Goats. Even in winter. Where are all the mountain goats? The place used to be crawling with them. One day while having lunch I had 42 Mountain Goats sitting around me. They got so used to me that I would use a wide-angle lens!
The goats were removed by the NPS because they were invasive. Some of them they captured and relocated to the N.Cascades and others shot. I saw the goat hunting helicopter when I was out on the Bailey range. Also a gentleman was killed by a goat up on Mt. Angeles in 2010.
