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

— David Celento

Features -none-

Bright colors are advised during hunting seasons.

Description

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!
