"12-27-20. Climbed the Wildcats (A,B,C,D) with Cam, Jade, Christian, Nate and Frank P. Temps were high teens to mid twenties throughout the day. Clouds faces way to blue sky once we reached the summit(s). Ice and snow, which required micro spikes. Hitting the trail at 0800 hrs was a must to complete all four peaks prior to sunset which gave plenty of time for rests, lunch and just enjoying each other company. " — Audette207 • Dec 27, 2020
"Molly and I went for the Carter Range today. Both of us needed them this month. We parked at 19 Mile Brook and walked down to Joe Dodge. We then cut through to reach Imp Tr. We then headed up. We eventually reached the ridge and headed to Lethe first. After tagging the summit, we went up to Middle Carter and tagged that summit. We then headed over and tagged South Carter. Next, we dropped down to Zeta Pass, then up Mt Hight. Been awhile since I was last on Hight. Lovely views today. We then went over to Carter Dome. Molly also wanted to tie up a loose end and grab Wildcat A. So we dropped down into Carter Notch. Still feeling decent, we made our way up A peak and got it. We then doubled back into Carter Notch and took 19 Mile Brook Tr out to the car. " — newenglandwarrior • Nov 8, 2020
"Fantastic weather day to climb up Polecat on the ski slopes and run across the ridge and back. Warm and sunny, can't beat that lookout from Wildcat A, down into Carter Notch, spectacular." — Alohabuffy • Feb 24, 2020
"Hiked with Snickers again. We did a car spot. We went up 19 Mile Brook Tr, then up to A peak first. We then headed over to D peak, then down Polecat Ski Tr. No views from the summits today. We were socked in. We had views further down the ski trail. " — newenglandwarrior • Jan 14, 2020
"Polecat Trail up to Wildcat D. Then over to A peak via Wildcat Ridge Trail. Crossed over C and B peaks but those are not marked. A lot of short and steep up and downs on this part of the trail. On the way back down Polecat had an encounter with 2 moose. Kept my distance. Had to backtrack a little and took another ski trail down. Picked up Polecat Trail further down the mountain.

"An out and back on the Wildcats via 19 Mile Brook Tr. Some gridding in action and to visit Kate. Tagged both A and D peak. Stopped in at the hut but Kate wasn't in yet. On the way back down 19 Mile Brook, our paths met. She just drove up from PA to start her shift at Carter Notch Hut. A good day." — newenglandwarrior • Oct 4, 2018

"Parked at Wildcat Ski Resort, caught a ride to 19 Mile Brook Trail. Hiked up 19 Mile Brook Trail to Wildcat Ridge Trail, then across A, B, C and D, then down E to Pinkham Notch Visitors' Center. Caught a ride on a motorcycle back to my car. Met tons of other hikers. Fun hike, but boy was it steep going up Wildcat A from Carter Notch and going down Wildcat E! My pics are in the original post.
I originally posted this in Peakery under my Wildcat E summit, because I didn't realize you could post them all together, and I had already done A, B, C and D before, so didn't know I should post them again." — Hufflepuff • Aug 11, 2018

"The second day of our hut trip - woke up to a great breakfast and some good coffee :) The hike out starts with a nice wake up climbing up to Wildcat and then a very enjoyable ridge hike out - such a great trip!" — deb-and-rob • Jun 17, 2018
"After D peak, I went over and did A peak. I brought out my snowshoes and used them. There was about a couple of inches of snow I had to break out. Eventually reached A peak. On the way back, saw a bunch of people heading to D peak. Made quick time going down the ski slopes. " — newenglandwarrior • Apr 21, 2018

"Epic and sort of disappointing hike...
we had decided to head up the ridge trail instead of the ski trails which took more time due to careful footing...but it was well worth it for views and sense of accomplishment. We had wanted to do all of wildcat AND carter dome AND the carters...but on the descent from wildcat A to the col between carter dome we all had some sketchy falls....I wanted to keep going but my two hiking buds said it was a no go...they didn't have the strength or mental state to continue. So just the 5 Wildcats for the day. Actually using my ice axe and crampons was pretty exciting though....especially when I had to self arrest due to a slide and while sliding a crampon popped off...so quite of bit of dangerous excitement.
