<p>Dug a pit just below the sub peak as a decision point before crossing to the true summit. The column test showed a reactive layer at 20 cm and another at 40 cm. CT 28 hard. However an extended test will a skier separated the layer very easily. We used the results as an indicator to turn around and return to the treeline.</p>
