| The day started Ok, but the reports forecasted rain in the afternoon. We were prepared, but the rain, freezing rain, and fog continued to get worse as the day wore on. It didn't get so foggy that we were in complete white out conditions, but we did not get any views from the summit. Will have to go back someday. | |

| I took the Lost Pond trail to the Wildcat Ridge Trail. It basically rained the whole month, so the trail was muddy and wet the entire time. The views of Mt. Washington are GREAT. The towers on Wildcat D were closed. I only saw one person on the trail and they were doing a survey. I was glad to get out and go hiking after so much crappy weather. You have to wait for a good day for this mountain, because you want to see the views. The view of Carter notch is awesome too. I read the guide where it said the true summit was off the view trail. I found it. I took the 19 mile brook trail down, and then walked back to pinkham notch on rt 16. The walk back is all uphill. | |

| Climbed via the Wildcat Ridge Trail from Pinkham Notch. Hiked above a sea of clouds in the notch at around 3000' which gave us tremendous views from the ski area on D Peak. By the time we reached A Peak most of it had burnt off and the foliage was spectacular. Great views into Carter Notch from A Peak as well. | |

| "Bonus" peak from Carter Notch toward the end of a long day of hiking in deep snow. Not as steep as we'd feared - we kept expecting bare rock to climb so didn't put the snowshoes on until we were already very tired. | |

| Arrived at Pinkham notch around 1:00 pm. By around 2 we began our little 2 mile jaunt to Wildcat D. It began to snow heavily and did not stop the entire trip. SIX hours later we returned to the car on RT. 16. THE longest four miles of hiking ever for me. Very sustained & steep, a sh*tload of fun! Bring crampons in the winter or you may just get turned around! Went back for A with Nartreb as he said not as steep as expected but sustained for sure! Funny mono-rail snow conditions added to the challenge! | |

| Climbed Wildcat Ridge from the south in very deep snow and temperatures in the seventies Farenheit. Had planned to stash my snowboard at D, continue to A, backtrack and ride down the ski trails. After over five hours of effort including some unplanned bushwhacking, was happy to reach D and ride down. Many, many scratches, and a sunburn to boot. | |

| After my resupply at Pinkam Notch my pack weighed 42 pounds. Wildcat took too long to ascend under that load so I stayed at the hut. | |

| We hiked this in perfect weather with no too much humidity and GREAT views from everywhere. The Ridge Trail was certainly very steep and we conquered a lot of elevation in not much time, but it was worth it. The walk between the five peaks was a lot of fun, but it was a lot of ups and downs. Going out Nineteen was a nice relaxing cool down from the steep portions in the beginning of the hike. For those looking for your 4Ks watch for the peaks on your map because they really aren't well marked and you can easily walk right by them without knowing it. | |

| I climbed it solo in winter conditions. It was a real bear and I was thankful to be staying in the hut. | |
