I'm running 46x34 with 11-42 using an Ultegra Shadow RD. I don't want to touch the chainrings.

If I added a Wolftooth, what cassette could I run? 46T? Bigger?

Also, what's the difference between Goatlink and Roadlink? There's a bikepacking.com video showing a dude using 10spd Goatlink on 11spd GRX so is there actually any difference between them?

Where do you need to ride that you need that big of gear range with something as low as 34-46? That's well below the walking speed

Badlands. Yeah, I did quite a lot of walking, and I don't like it. My theory is that if I can at least attempt to ride this steep, rocky kind of thing I'll get better skills and won't have to dismount and walk so often. I'm basically using my gravel bike as a mountain bike in races like this.
