Chimney Pond
Historic Photo from A. Wexler's 1945 trip to Katahdin (from 1946 Appalachia) Maybe the Rib between Pamola IV [butress above and right of the marked line] and Baron's Direct? Maybe the "old pins" on the slab were placed the 1945 party?
Wheat Thin, 5.9, A2 in 1980. FA Jamie Cunningham and Rich Leswing. I made a wager in the Chimney Pond Ranger Station climber's log book I would buy a case of Molson to ever frees the route. No takers. Probably goes at 5.10.

Jamie Cunningham routing routing on Pamola Cliff in 1980 along with Rich Leswing. I believe this is the first pitch of Wheat Thin 5.9, A2. These days it would easily go all free. See other Wheat Thin photos in gallery.
Pamola Cliff as seen in 1979.
Looking down at the "Knife Edge" from just below the summit (Chimney Pond is out-of-the-photo to the left. )
