Camped at Roaring Brook. Hiked up Helon Taylor to Pamola peak, across Knife edge to Katahdin then down Saddle Trail and finally Chimney Pond trail back.
Took 14 hours to do it.
My ass has been thoroughly kicked.

Not me in the picture but that is Knife Edge. .9 miles long and took me 2 hours, 45 minutes to cross it. Furthest high point on the ridge is Pamola.

Again not me but some rando climbing down Chimney Notch. Had to go through, there was no turning back.

It's a fantastic hike. I was there several times 25+ years ago. Always stayed at one of the Chimney Pond shelters.  See any moose? The place was thick with 'em back in the day.

No mooses (meeses?) just chipmunks and yellow belly sapsuckers. Would love to seen a moose.

Took me a while to find it. Looking towards knife edge. Circa 86 or so.

Great hike!  Great exposure and an impressive elevation gain.

I'm only up that way in the winter, so it's a lot more committing to get in there.  One of these days I'll get in there.  One of these days.

This looks incredible, thanks for sharing. Definitely adding it to the bucket list as I'm more interested in the shape of the mountain than the altitude any more.
