Comments
Southwest 20-25° slope.
CTH28 failure planar break 32cm down on 1mm facets.
ECTH27 failure 25cm down no propagation.
There was a prominent melt freeze crust visible in our pit, but both column tests were hard results.
Great turns down to the hut! Snow was getting heavier towards the afternoon.
