Observation: Park City Ridgeline

The DJL facets are now buried 30-90 cms (1-3 feet) and haven't gained much strength as they are still F hardness, but the slab above the facets is now much stronger, up to pencil hard in places. On slopes where the slab is deeper (> 60 cms), it is harder to affect the DJL. But on a slope with a ~50 cm slab above the DJL, I was still able to get full propagation with an ECTP22 down 55 cms.

I still don't trust this structure, and the lack of feedback (no collapsing) gives us a false sense of security. Combined with spatial variability of the thickness of the slab and the weakness of the DJL, and warm temperatures, it is an easy decision to continue to avoid steep northerly slopes.
