About

My Pet Goat is a trad rock climbing route located on Grand Mesa near Grand Junction, Colorado. The route is a 50-foot right-facing finger crack. Climbers start by laybacking up a corner with face holds until it pinches shut, requiring a long reach to reach the anchors. The climb is rated difficult but is described as short and fun with straightforward gear placements. Climbers should bring finger-sized protection, specifically pieces no larger than a #0.5 Camalot. The route is situated a few minutes walk from the trail to the wall, to the right of a route through a roof. The elevation is listed as 9,412 feet in the database, though web sources cite 5,285 feet. Parking is available, and pets are allowed. The first ascent was by Charlie Fowler and Damon Johnston.
