Trend

Problem #1 Comments
Took a closer look at the basal facets on a W face at 9850 near the monitors. HS was150 and yielded PST 40/130 END down 130 oh depth hoar. This means scary connectivity and propagation within our deepest weak layer. This is a non polar aspect! In our second pit 40' away on the same aspect and elevation we found an HS of 120cm ECTPH down 90 on depth hoar. Will post video this evening.
