WILDCAT

This oft underrated crag contains a good concentration of VS and HVS limestone climbs, comparable with almost anywhere in the Peak. Here is a collection of long routes in impressive surroundings and often on a feline theme. Wildcat has its fair share of poor rock and vegetated routes, and so only the better climbs are described here. All of these are worthwhile, and with a little effort, something can be found unoccupied even on the busiest of days. Wildcat's best areas contain good quality rock at an angle which is relatively easy for limestone, and thus mostly in the VS to E1 range. There are a few stiffer challenges on the High Crag cliffs, but in general, lots of variety is the name of the game here.
