Mountain Goats

I am a newbie, been photographing with a Canon R7 crop sensor since June.
I shot this with a Canon 800m F/11 lens in October here in Montana (yes "budget lens" so fixed at F/11)
I arrived at the summit at sunrise, but the goats were on a NW facing slope and thus in the slope shadow.
So I waited 5 hours for the sun to swing to the southwest and the slope got some sun.
The goats were 180 meters away and it was physically impossible to get closer and stay at eye level.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Beautiful photo telling a great story (y) (y) The only change I would have made, if it was possible, would be to have included a bit more of the surroundings above the animals. Irrespective, that photograph was well worth your long wait.
