Upper PK

Dug 2 pits on low angle north facing slopes about 1 KM apart between Azu bowl and PK peak. Couldn't see more than 30m in the cloud so stuck to known safe terrain.

Light dusting of snow on the surface. Column test got a 30cm depth, easy 2, Q2. 60cm depth, hard 9, Q2, on this test both top and bottom of the ice layer slid a few cm. There are 6 hard ice layers between 50cm and 60cm depth, only one moved as mentioned above. Did a rutschblock on a 30 degree slope. Got a 4 value (easy jump), slid 20cm, no other layers moved with extensive hard jumps.
