| View from approximately .2 miles Southeast of Baxter peak into the
South Basin. At right (from right to left) is Chimney Peak, the
Pamola Cleft, Pamola Peak, and the ridge along which Dudley Trail
proceeds downhill to Chimney Pond. The eastern end of the Knife Edge is
just visible at right. The portion of the image at the bottom is
looking almost vertically straight down, just past my shoes. The
"peak" in the background at left is just the lower slope of a
ridge that leads to the northern continuation of the Katahdin ridge, which
includes Hamlin Peak and the Howe Peaks.
