All in all the entire ridge from the Cats to Moriah is in great shape. We used snowshoes to ascend Polecat, but we took them off from just past Wildcat D all the way to below the steep section on the north side of North Carter. From there, we pretty much broke trail to Imp, where we intersected "broken" trail to Stony Brook. Stony Brook is in fantastic shape. |
