Wondering what it is comparable to in the Whites? (yes, I'm from maine and haven't been there yet )
I guess it's roughly comparable to Adams and Madison.Wondering what it is comparable to in the Whites? (yes, I'm from maine and haven't been there yet )

my tr from last sept. http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?42100-9-13-11-Katahdin
talking to a ranger up there last year he compares the whites and katahdin to j.v. vs. varsity, I agree with that..
comparable.. maybe n.prezzis, such as, up great gulf to 6 husbands, over to jeff, adams, madison down osgood, which kind of reminds me of going down hamlin.. nothing compares to the knife edge, nothing!! have fun, can't wait for katahdin in the fall for me!
btw, we did the loop from, roaring brook-helon-knife-down hamlin-back to roaring brook =8hrs. of fun, but we jogged out the end..
If you:
Start at Roaring Brook Campground
Go up Hamlin Ridge Trail (highly recommended)
Over Hamlin Peak, across the Saddle and up to Baxter Peak
Double back and go down the Saddle Trail past Chimney Pond and down to Roaring Brook
I would roughly estimate the day on par with a loop of Adams, Madison, and Jefferson in terms of effort required. There's no equivalent in terms of view and experience. The place is just majestic.
