On the top of Mount Katahdin, Baxter State Park Maine

[mlester3001]

I did the knifes edge 15 or 16 years ago, in 1995 or 1996. Didn't really know what I was getting myself into. And yes it was scary at one point, I remember walking a narrow edge, holding on with just my fingertips, looking almost straight down several thousand feet. Learned a good life lesson - I had gotten myself into this, now it was up to me to get myself out of it! And I did. I got it done. Lost most of my toenails though, they fell off a few days later. I think my boots were too short.

@doubleds100 Just go there and enjoy yourself. Pack plenty of snack food and water.

START EARLY. My dad and I didn't get back in time and ended up walking 3 miles in pitch black with just a headlight back to our tent.

That sign's looking a tad worn since I've been up there in 2003.

nice. i was there on july 7th and we started at about 630 from the roaring brook parking lot. we took the chimney pond trail then went up the cathedral trail. from baxter peak we went across the knives edge and down the helon taylor. we didnt get off the mountain until 1am because someone in our group got leg cramps in the middle of knives edge. but in all the trip was amazing. definately looking foward to doing it again. nice video.
