Wildcat Mountain Rock Climbing

While it says in the Backcountry Wilderness Area (Highlands Ranch Community Association BS for "we probably won't use this to build more houses here until we decide we want money") rules & regulations that climbing/bouldering isn't allowed, I've personally asked the people in charge if this cliff was alright to climb, and they kind of just shrugged their shoulders and said "I think so". It's technically also off-limits to non-Highlands Ranch residents, but I've literally never heard of somebody getting sent away because they forgot their recreation card, despite the signage at the trailhead. The routes are short and would have to be bolted to be lead, but alas, there's a fixed hardware ban issued by HRCA. So TR and possibly runout trad is the name of the game, for now.

Legal oddities aside, this cliff is only worth it for the truly down-bad suburban climber. The rock is Castle Rock conglomerate, same as Castlewood Canyon, but hasn't been cleaned up as of yet. The benefits include the short drive from the 'burbs and the spectacular view of the entire Denver metro area from the cliff. I'm sure there's more that could be established (looking at you, Rock Canyon high school climbers), but I had run into enough hornets, honey beehives, and hot sun exposure for the day and decided to head out before it rained. No wonder this cliff hasn't been developed....
