Pamola Peak, Katahdin
Climbed August 21st, 2022
Altitude: 4,902ft
"This Mountain was absolutely terrifying. I'm very lucky I found a group to climb with, it helped dampen the fear. My plan was to take the Knife's Edge route to the main peak, but I took one look at it and refused. I'm not capable of this. This Mountain is unlike anything I've seen before. And I'm in love with it."
A word from Pamola...
