| MichaelWW | Toughest Eastern Peak?  | |
| I made it up the Hunt trail with my friend Matthew on a particularly windy/cloudy day. I'd have to agree that this is the toughest peak I've encountered in the east - I'd say it's almost worthy of the Cascades! | |

| mountainhare | Katahdin second attempt Date Climbed: May 30, 2011 | |
| The day before, I foolishly tried to force a climb through some inclement weather. But the next morning dawned clear and beautiful, so I stayed past my Baxter reservation and climbed the Abol slide en route to the summit. Best decision I could make. The Abol slide, the table, Baxter Peak, all amazing and well worth the trip. | |

| Ibswoha | The Greatest Mountain Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2010 | |
| Certainly one of the greatest mountains in the East. Amazing views in all directions. First state highpoint accomplished and it was well worth it. | |

| PaulRomano | 9th State HP Date Climbed: Oct 10, 2011 | |
| Wow... what a hike! Absolutely stunning scenery and beautiful weather made for a perfect day. Originally intended on doing Helon Taylor and the Knife edge, but it was rather windy so we opted for Saddle instead. | |

| Amazing weather, 70+ degrees and fall colors, who could ask for more. This hike was more epic than i thought but an absolute blast. Up Cathedral down the Saddle | |

| We had a great time, but although we could see the summit from the road in, once we hit the trail the mountain was socked in with no views. boo hoo So we modified our plan: up Cathedral, down Saddle. | |

| Flattlander | Best peak in the NE | |
| IMHO. 2009 solo adventure on Knife Edge was great. Went back again with GF and a buddy and did the AT, which is also awesome. I want a winter ascent. | |

| maddie77777 | What a peak Date Climbed: Sep 18, 2011 | |
| Climbed up the Saddle Trail and hit the top, where it was sunny and filled with people. There must have been 60 people at the top when I arrived. This peak had the most amazing views, and I can't wait to try it again via the Knife Edge route! | |

| BrianChase | First Climb | |
| My partner on this climb has since passed away, and it is a very important place to me for that and many other reasons. | |

| AlexeyD | solo Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2011 | |
| Cathedral-Knife Edge-Helon Taylor, solo, just under 5 hours car-to-car. Blue-bird skies, almost no wind. Minimal bugs, too. Still a couple of snow patches left in South Basin. All in all a good day - too bad the drive is so damn long... | |

| zoomloco | Thru hike perfect ending Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2000 | |
| via an AT thru-hike. snow flurries and no visibility on summit day but nonetheless a great cap to an awesome experience. at age 19, the months alone in my head on the trail were the best thing that ever happened to me... | |

| Holsti97 | Abol Slide scramble Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2011 | |
| Climbed via the Abol Slide Trail. Met many interesting people including a man who had summited Katahdin for the 46th time. 8 hours round trip including a leisure lunch at the summit. A clear day with great views. The black flies were brutal. State HP #47. | |
