Pleasant weather and conditions all around on the Cats. We ascended ski area before operating hours, they allow access before opening or after close. Snow shoes worn from start to 1/2 way down the 19 mile trail in which we bare booted out , spikes would be good too. Wildcat Ridge trail was not broken out and large chunks of ice and crushed ice along with branches made for some focused hiking,especially descending the Wildcat A which was narrow and steep .Rain and freeze tonight will make it interesting! Congratulations to Pickles for yet another 2 peaks on her GRID. |
