| buzzdainer | Completion of A.T. thru-hike Date Climbed: Aug 19, 1995 | |
| Of my several ascents of Mount Katahdin, this one was the most meaningful, as it was the culmination of a six-month trek on the Appalachian Trail. Kind of cold and blustery, but still magical. | ||

| kakakiw | Up and down | |
| Long time ago,date is real fuzzy, but did Katahdin leaving from Chimney Pond up to Pamola over the Knife Edge (it wasn't that bad, I loved it) and then down Cathedral Trail. Hmm, need a repeat. | |

| Florida Frank | It was home range for a while Date Climbed: Feb 20, 1986 | |
| I lived in Millinocket from 1984 to 1990, and climbed Katahdin perhaps a dozen times via all the standard trails. The most memorable was our winter ascent over President's day weekend in 1986, via the Hunt Trail. | |

| chugach mtn boy | Armadillo gulley Date Climbed: Oct 14, 1979 | |
| After spending too much time in the approach cliff bands, bailed out of the Armadillo and climbed the horrendously loose 4th class stuff to its right directly to the summit. Not a recommended route. | |

| J Fox | Knife Edge: Climbed multiple times when I was a kid | |
| Growing up in Maine this was the king of the mountains. My Dad took me up this a number of times when I was younger. The Knife Edge probably got me hooked on scrambling for the rest of my life. | |

| mountainloverCO | Fun Climb and a Beautiful Day! Date Climbed: Jun 16, 2007 | |
| Scrambled up the Cathedral Ridge route which was a blast and then descended via the Knife Edge (also a ton of fun). Overall, we couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable day on the mountain-crystal clear blue skies all day and views as far as the eye could see. Katahdin was the most fun I've had climbing on the east coast! | |

| starship_jen | Abol Trail Date Climbed: May 26, 2007 | |
| HP #26! It was a beautiful day to climb the Big K. Abol Trail was the only trail open due to snow and ice on the others. Hiked with Paul and we enjoyed views from the top as well as our traditional Reese's Peanut Butter Cups--yum! Steep and rocky, but what a mountain!! | |

| MoapaPk | childhood dream Date Climbed: Jun 14, 1990 | |
| I originally planned to go in April, 1971. Trip after trip was cancelled, then as luck would have it, my brother-in-law got married in Maine... My wife and I went up an easy route to the top, then went back on the knife edge. Before we started off on the edge, she turned to me and said, "I want you to know I'm doing this only because I love you". | |

| VaughnH | Snow in June Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2002 | |
| From their lake side wedding site South of Mt. Katahdin there appeared to be a snow patch close to Baxter Peak. Later as we crossed Table Land on the Appalacian Trail my daughter-in-law would not let me leave the trail to investigate. | |
