Rob, I have been to the top of Katahdin 4 times. My last trip started at Roaring Brook and we hiked to Pamola peak. Took the Knife's Edge across to the peak of Katahdin and from there we went to Chimney Pond and back to Roaring Brook. This is listed as a 12 hour hike but we did it in 7. Two weeks later I lost the skin on the bottom of my feet. Wear good boots and watch the weather. If you have a fear of heights it is not for you. Some areas are hand and foot climbing and the drop is 2000'.You may want to plan for a few days to get the weather window. Great approaches to the summit all over the park as well as other hikes in the lowlands where wildlife is abundant. One year we were hiking near Daisy Pond and came face to face with a moose,very cool. Google Gulf Hagas for my favorite hike in Maine.Oh yeah, make sure you are in shape....
