The latest adventures of Matt McGee, a PhD student at the University of California–Berkeley who is conducting biodiversity surveys along an elevational gradient in Anjanaharibe-Sud. Climbing the mountain was a definite challenge, as the old trail (last used in the 1990s) is no longer passable and Matt and his team had to forge a completely new route. Matt made it to the 1,550 m level camp and two of his research assistants successfully summited (2,064 m). This trek was not your standard “walk in the park”!
