Get Wild Cats! May Grotto Trip!
Ever wanted to experience the Wildcat Extension in Tumbling Rock? Well here’s your chance!
The Wildcat X has a very different feel than the rest of TR. It’s very open and likely still has virgin passage yet to be discovered. It’s also far less visited perhaps due to the difficulty in finding the way?
Normal caving attire required. No vertical. Part of the route requires you to chimney a rather drippy dome. A rain jacket will make your visit more enjoyable. There will be some brief muddy belly crawls in this section but it’s really not too bad and shouldn’t be a deal breaker for most people. Once past the short dome climb a whole different world opens up to you.
