Access Issue: Special rules apply for winter camping & climbing in Baxter State Park and on Mt Katahdin
Details
Consult Baxter State Park for details on winter camping & climbing. Minimum group size, minimum length of stay, and requirements for staying at specific places on the trip in may apply.
Description
This is the best moderate, easy access gully climb near Chimney Pond. Starts with ~ 200 m of easy snow scrambling or wallowing to the base of a nice ice flow. This is the left-hand of two prominent gullies running up to Pamola Peak.
P1 - 40-50m, fun WI3. Belay as up on the left side.
P2 - 40m, WI3/+. Belay up in cave on left side
Scramble to the top of Pamola peak, descend via Dudley trail to the left. Alternative, rap down the route; we did this to avoid the long scrambly descent.

Location
Recognizable by the large rock avalanche cone at the base.
Either 1. Follow the blue-blazed Dudley trail to the base of the cliffs and then walk until you get to the start or
2. Cross the pond, following the left-most stream bed for a while until you see the avalanche cone that marks the start of the route, then head left.
