Quick report

At 5,300’, slight NW aspect and open meadow we observed a 2cm thick layer of NSF and buried SH (up to 6mm), 70cm down, on top of JDL and producing stubborn but notable results in mechanical tests (CTN, but SC on very hard taps ~33; ECTP29; PST End 35/100). At 5,900’, N aspect, we observed lack of JDL presence but sudden collapse results on very hard (32) CT within 1/10.
