 | Comments: |
Wildcat ridge trail is quite steep from rte 16 up to Wildcat A. Used microspikes and trekking poles, but frankly this was pushing it a little bit. In current conditions, it was doable, but would be safer with full crampons and an ice axe. If the snow melts/freezes over again it will not be passable without full traction. |
