This was our second attempt to summit Wildcat Peak. Our first attempt was on December 4th 2021. Weather conditions on that day encouraged us to regroup and try again when the weather was more favorable. Yesterday found temperatures in the high 60’s with brisk westerly winds. Significant elevation gain and loss profile. Round trip consisted of three ~400’ elevation gains with two ~400’ losses.
Beautiful vistas in-spite of the cloudy conditions.
