Katahdin (4)

Knife's Edge and Pamola Peak. There were no pictures going down, lots of hopping, leaving us both with very sore right legs only, and raw hands from the rough rockage. DO IT.

Katahdin (1)

Last Wednesday Patrick and I found ourselves up in the middle of Maine at Baxter State Park. This park hosts Mount Katahdin, with Baxter Peak being the Northern most end of the Appalachian Trail. On the way up we took Cathedral Trail to Baxter Peak, then across Knife's Edge to Pamola Peak and down Helon Taylor to the bottom. It was an incredibly beautiful hike, with really great weather, taking us a little under 8 hours, with a good amount of stoppage time. I highly suggest it.

Influenced by CK, I took a bunch of videos on the way up, so I'll be posting those, only with some photos for the next couple of days to show what it was like up there.
