Wildcat "D" June, 16, 2006

Our first hike of the summer. It had been a wet spring in NH and finding a peak without difficult brook crossings or without very rocky steep slabs that would be slippery when wet was going to be challenge. The Wildcats were still on our list and Wildcat D can be climbed via their ski slopes. A perfect first hike! We climbed up the intermediate slopes and down the beginner's slopes. The sun was hot and the bugs were thick. We were glad to get into the forest for the short step climb to the summit from the end of the slopes. Wildcat D was #31 on our climbs of the 48 peaks above 4000 feet in the Whites.

Distance 5.0 miles; Climb 2400 ft; Elevation 4062 ft.
