Instability Comment
<p>Obvious signs of wind loading on and near the ridge top. Some soft wind slab formation felt while traversing on the ridge. Winds were calm today. </p> <p>Still persisting. I did not hear/feel any collapsing today as on days prior up here. Small column tests still indicate fracture initiation with smooth planar Q1 shear on the buried surface hoar layer. </p>
