The extended column test resulted in ECTX. The propagation saw test resulted in pst90/100arr. The pit was 110cm deep on a slope angle of 25 degrees on a south facing aspect below treeline protected from the wind. Two strong slabs separated by a dense ice layer 45 cm below the surface. Weak layers beneath the ice layer and at ground level that did not collapse or propagate upon testing.
