| Tahawus | Hamlin Peak  Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2008 | |
| Climbed along with Katahdin via the Helon Taylor Trail from Roaring Brook. Climbed my final peak of the Northeast 115 after two days of hiking in the rain. A truely beautiful mountain, one of the best in the east. Had some fantastic views of Katahdin and the surrounding mountains from the summit. It was a great finish to what have been some of the best moments of my life. Now to do them all over again! | |

| What a great day, not a cloud in the sky. Quite different from my previous day (in the middle of a t-storm) on the Katahdin massif. | |

| I started at 6am from the Roaring Brook Campground and went Chimney Pond tr. to the Saddle tr. After visiting Baxter Peak (along with a couple of dozen other people), I traversed the Ridge line to Hamlin Peak, some 2.1 miles distance by trail. There I enjoyed clear weather (for a couple of hours it was clear that day), wide sweeping views and no company. I descended via the Hamlin Ridge Tr. It was a great day | |

| injektilo | Route: Dudley/Knife Edge/Saddle/Hamlin Ridge Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2005 | |
| Hiked Hamlin after traversing the Knife Edge to Baxter. Went down via the Hamlin Ridge. Chimney Pond-> Dudley Trail-> Knife Edge-> Baxter Peak-> Saddle-> Hamlin Peak-> Hamlin Ridge Trail-> Chimney Pond... Perhaps the most scenic loop in the East. | |

| Livelife4Summits | Route Climbed: Hamlin Ridge Trail off Katahdin's summit Date Climbed: August 15th, 2005 | |
| A very mellow summit. I did it while making my way down from Katahdin and since this was not too far off my descent route I decided to hit it up. Short but steep. | |

| nartreb | Route Climbed: multi-peak loop from Roaring Brook Date Climbed: october 2005 | |
| In good weather and sticking to the trails, this peak is probably Katahdin's easiest to reach, only slightly out-of-the-way to the north from many trailheads. Can be combined with more than one of the other peaks in a single day. See the description for Hamlin Ridge Trail on the Katahdin page. | |

| Seth Maciejowski | Route Climbed: North Face Date Climbed: March 2003 | |
| I nice alpine ice and snow line on the north face. I highly recommend it to people climbing in the winter. Similar in character to Odell's Gully on Mt. Washington, but the crux is closer to the top unlike Odell's which has the crux near the bottom. | |
