Nope. You have only two possible routes up Katahdin from the South & west, 
the trail the Hunt's cut which is the AT, and the trail cut by a rock 
slide-the Abol Trail. There is way to bushwhack from the Brothers via Fort 
Mnt and connect with the Northwest Basin Trail, but that's a two day beast of 
a hike just to get to Davis Pond. That's also where the last hiker death in 
the Park occurred.
I dunno what the answer is, but a drastic reroute of the AT isn't it.
