| Comments: |
The Polecat trails were quick and easy in both directions. Once on the Wildcat Ridge Trail, no sign of the previous hikers from Saturday. Swimming through deep snow, lots of branches to the face, many "duck unders" and "push throughs" that went on and on. Our team of three made it to "B" before our turnaround time. Views are better than ever - if you want a view from WRT, this is the time to be there. |
