Named Goat Peak after the gangs of mountain goats that regularly trod up and down it like it's nothing, this 2291m mountain was actually once used for grazing sheep - specifically, the lower, grassy part of its slopes. The summit, however, is bare rock, to be attempted only by those comfortable with scrambling and high exposition. You can pass through here while hiking Orla Perć, or come up via the black trail from Five Polish Ponds Valley (1h45). Alternatively, you can start at Czarny Staw Gąsienicowy, walking along the blue trail in the direction of Zawrat, then turning onto the yellow trail leading up to Kozia Przełęcz (Goat Pass), from where you have to take the red trail to the summit - this will take 3 hours. Keep in mind that the trail leading from Zawrat to Kozi Wierch is one-way. The mountain is doable in the winter, but you must have mountaineering experience and make sure the conditions are right.
