I did the A and D summits at different times. I added A as part of the Carter loop. It's not too far from Carter Notch and although it is steep it's more of a stair climb than a scramble. I did Wildcat D on a day that I did another of the easier NH48 summits (in a different section of the Whites). For this I used a ski trail that is 2.5 miles each way and mostly follows the access road to the ski lift between D and E. It has about 2,000 feet of elevation gain but being on and off ski slopes has views all the way to the top. It's on All Trails as Wildcat Ski Slope to Wildcat Mountain. Thanks for doing this one so the rest of us don't have to.

I used to literally live across the street from here on the West side of 16. You should stop in to LImmers and get fitted for a pair of customs. They have saved me from rolling ankles many times. Also, I recommend a pair of tall gaitors. Not only do they help keep out debris from getting down in your socks, but they can be pulled up when the temp drops to moderate your temp without having to swap into/out of long pants. Ragged has decent gators, but a pair of Outdoor Research lasted me over 30 years. Great vids - keep 'em up.

Hi Adam. The actual summit for A is off to the side of the trail to the viewpoint and not the boggy intersection. As you go to the viewpoint keep looking to your right and you will see a path that climbs a few feet to a high point marked with a small cairn. It can be hard to see as it is located in some thicker trees. Maybe you know this, but I didn't see it in the video. Also, you can make a loop by going out via 19 Mile Brook Trail from the notch after you descend from A. This will leave you with a 3+ mile road walk back to the trailhead (uphill) unless you take a friend and spot a second car or stash a bike if you're solo. Even with the roadwalk it is better than doing the ridge twice and descending the steeps IMHO, not to mention having to climb back up A from the notch. I have 59 of the 100 highest completed and hope to at least finish the NH48 this summer and maybe the NE67, my nearly 70 year old knees willing. Your videos are helpful in my planning as they show the terrain versus the descriptions in trail guides and trip reports. Thanks.
