Getting close to the popular bivouac site at dawn. It was wet, depressing at the time. As we switched from running shoes to ski boots at the bivy, we noticed nobody else was even bothering to get up.<br> <br> Photo by Kirk Miller

Below the Black Buttes on skins. The party above rallied to arms after we'd arrived in camp, passed us here, and then pooped out later. <br> <br> Photo by Kirk Miller
Dawn at the point where skiable snow met the official trail. Also, where we left the trail and climbed a not-to-hard-to-find path to the bivy site. <br> <br> These pictures were all taken late August of 1999, the year nearby Mount Baker Ski Resort broke the record for snowfall amount.<br> <br> Photo by Kirk Miller

Panorama of Mount Baker's north side. The red line shows the route to the saddle. The dry pummice ridge is visible, so I avoided obscuring it with the line. The Roman Wall is not visible. <br> <br> Photo by Kirk Miller
