The pit we dug today was on a wind loaded east aspect around 10,700 feet at slope angle of 30°. Two tests were performed, an extended column test (ECT) as well as a propagation saw test (PST). No reaction was seen with the extended column test however we did get a couple of the upper wind loaded layers on the propagation saw test to react. PST 70/150 ARR @87cm was our most reactive layer.
