Comments

Felt and heard a pretty big whoomf ascending the cut block from the lower trail before Ottoman. Decided that was spooky enough, so headed back and did some practice snow pits on the side of the FSR.

CTM12 SP

ETCP13 SP

Both failed ~80cm down.

Did another test at the end of the upper FSR and got CTH24 SP ~30cm
