You’re not going to climb on May 15th, the traditional date for the park to open to overnight camping. The Park closes to all hiking in April, and trails do not open until at least late May.
Plan your start for later, after Memorial Day at least, June 1st better, second week of June best. I recommend the second week of June to ensure a Katahdin trail will be open. Don’t plan on an up-and-over from the Roaring Brook side. The logistics, the load, uncertain trail conditions – just don’t over complicate your start. Come back another day to do the Knife Edge.
