I'm hiking Katahdin friday going up Helon Taylor to Knife Edge. Done the Abol trail but the rocks are quite a bit looser than going up from Roaring brook. If you can avg. 2 miles per hour, you can hike helon taylor/ pamola/ knofe edge route in 6 hours. I believe it's 11 miles round trip. One of the most rugged if not the toughest hiking in N.E. The vertical gain is equal to Mt. Washington from Pinkham notch because the trail starts 1000 feet lower at Katahdin.
