The last set of photos in this collection are from my most recent trip up to Muir (as of the time of this writing in late December 2000). That's Matt at left using his newly acquired Voile splitboard, and Micah Ledbetter at right (yet another grad student from my lab) using his fine randonnee setup. We're just above Panorama Point near 6900 ft (2100 m), looking back at Mount Saint Helens in the distance.
