“Ridiculous, off-the-seat, descent. Steep, steep, steep! ”

Description [Suggest Changes]

Wildcat is undoubtedly the steepest descent in Rothrock. It's got an average grade of 23% over 3/4 of a mile, with a section that's 44%. Several big, rear tire-skidding, heart-pounding drops, with a healthy dose of rocks thrown in to keep things interesting. For experts and fools only!
