Description

Wildcat is one of the un-assuming peaks of the Central organs. It is distinguished from its neighbors by being less remarkable: Its neighbor to the south, Dingleberry ahs a higher summit. Its neighbor to the north, Razorback, boasts an awesome exposed summit ridge. Not surprisingly, wildcat does not get much attention. Indeed, the Central Organs, ie peaks between Big Windy Canyon and the Wedge, have a reputation for not being being climbed much and for having the lengthiest, and nastiest approaches.

-Do not expect trails
-Do not expect to see other humans
-Do expect to do some bush-whacking.
-Do expect vague route descriptions and difficult route-finding

Getting There

Can be approached from either the East or West sides of the Organs. Standard 3rd and 4rth class routes approach from Modoc Mine Rd. At a point on the road before the switchbacks, there are a couple huge boulders. From these boulders take the small spur of mountain, "Wohlt's Welt", that leads NE toward the gully between Wildcat and Dingleberry. At the top of Wohlt's Welt one can traverse North into the Gully between Wildcat and Dingleberry. Ascend this gully to reach Wildcat.
