2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Wildcat D & Wildcat Mtn (64-65 of 67)

Peaks 64 and 65 for this year would be Wildcat Mtn. D Peak at 4,062 ft and Wildcat Mtn. A Peak at 4,422 ft. I hiked them on 1-2-15 on a day that was cloudy with steady and gusting wind. The wind was averaging 18 mph with gusts of 27 mph which made the summit temperature of 7 degrees feel like -14. The hike was 8.69 miles with 2,500 feet of overall gain and 3,580 feet of total elevation gain.
