Comments
My group was about to enter the Gargoyles area in Diamond Head when I heard whumpfing below my feet. I did an extended column test and found sheer propagation about 15cm deep on the second hit from the elbow. We also observed some natural point releases and another group remotely triggered a wet slab. Be careful out there if you're thinking of going out.
