Comments

Kept to super chill terrain. Dug a pit on 30° going up to the saddle N of the hut.

CT results: compression 6” down on the 12th tap. Sudden crack 8” down on 19th tap.

ECT had similar results however they didn’t appear to propagate across the block.

Appeared to be size 3 slide off top of mtn SW of hit that slid down to the bottom. Stay cautious, conditions are primed right now for danger.
