Mount Katahdin climbers Notes

Seanclimbs from UNITED STATES writes:

No matter which route you take there will be mild to moderate rock scrambling. Very rewarding climb with views as far as New Hampshire on the clearest days.
Poles, headlamp and plenty of water are recommended.
Permit is required to enter the area and summit Katahdin. Permits and more information can be obtained through Baxter state park website.
