Comments
Wet, saturated snowpack up to 8500ft, lots of hasty pits along the route and dug two pits on NE George’s, at 9,600ft and 10,000ft. I wasn’t able to get a failure from ECT, but at both sites had CT 2-3 on new snow/old snow interface. With one ski pole hasty pit I had the column fall out upon isolation failing on facets at 9,800ft.
