This is an awesome video! My son and I hiked Katahdin this past summer, celebrating his 13th birthday with a father-son trip. I let him pick an adventure he wanted to undertake and he picked Katahdin! We had a gorgeous day like you guys did. I love how you captured the boulder aspects of Helon Taylor and the heart-pounding parts of Knife Edge. We made a video of the climb too, but couldn't quite get those aspects. I also relate with the tiredness. My feet hurt soooooo bad when we got finished! Great video!

I start my thru hike of the AT in 2023. I think I read that Katahdin mean the greatest or the biggest mountain or something close to that. The top of the mountain was and probably still is sacred to some of the native population. They believe that if you go to the top, you will make the God that lives there angry. I don't remember the name of their God though, but the mountain is a very remote sacred indigenous location.

Great hiking film! I actually had no idea that the northeastern States offer such beautiful, rugged mountain landscapes! Certainly one of your videos I enjoyed the most, thank you a lot!
If you ever want to have similar (or little more gentle) mountain experiences in Europe - hit me up! I know many hikes in the Alps you guys would love!
Keep up the great work, looking foreward to the video next week!

ahh the crowning glory of northeastern hikes - SUPER stoked that you got to experience it. and yeah, for all those non-local folks in the comments - the knife's edge can compete with many a hike out west. especially during winter! its a bucket list item for sure. also a hike to take very seriously depending on the weather - lots of people get injured and there have been deaths too.

Amazing! I definitely want to try this out one day. A few years ago I hiked the Aonach Eagach trail in Scotland's Glen Coe with a university hiking/climbing club; went into that trip without researching much into the trail we were taking and that's the story of how I went on Scotland's hardest scramble trail and one of the narrowest hikes in the world XD

Bloody brilliant lads!
I fall asleep to your adventures every few months - whenever I remember to check back in on your site.
And that-s the highest praise, just beautifully simple appreciation of the great ole- outdoors, and of course, by the time you eat, we-re hungry with you -
Cheers!
Keep up the good work please

Harder than Whitney? For real though? Because I did a few mountains in the Whites that this reminded me of, and I still thought -Surely the mountains out west gotta be way more intense, at those elevations! - If Whitney isn't as hard as Katahdin then maybe I'd feel more emboldened to get out west for some mountains.

I hiked this mountain after doing 800 miles on the AT it crushed my soul as well. I also fell off an 8ft drop and did a full flip while landing on my feet only to sprain my ankle on a 3ft drop go figure. O did I mention I'm also afraid of heights. Great video guys you had me feeling squeamish all over again.
