Thanks for the story, Beni.
Many activations, goats or other special SOTA events have their background story which others are not aware of. Give up and turn back can be tough, but safety first. Lucky guys that you had found a bypass nearby, since Calmut is a nice one for everyone. Congrats to Christian to take home this goat that day all the same!
There is an official way to get up there that needs preparation, but good to read that your story was impressive enough to the staff to let you do your stuff on Mt. Calmut. See here for the sunshine story to do so: SOTA Reflector.
4 goats are a comfortable number since you can group them by two or take the herd. Anyhow, enjoy your success Christian!
