Looks like the same route we took Rob. Chimney Pond is a great place to stay if you can get reservations there.You will hike right into that camp on your descent.Hikers keep their food suspended so the bears can't reach it. Not many bluebird days there.The ultimate for me would be to approach it from the north but that would require days of hiking. Many years ago we took the Abol Slide down from the Peak;loose scrabble rock for 2000' is not fun. You will get a taste of that on your way down from Katahdin to Chimney Pond. If you are fortunate, you will taolk to some thru hikers at the summit. Crazy accomplishment.Good Luck,that is an awesome trip,and yes,reservations can be made Jan.1st but I think you have to be a Mainer.
