Black Queen

<p>We went for a tour down Black Queen and into the Burn. Decided to dig a pit before dropping into the steeper section of the East aspect on Black Queen. After a sudden planar result on both CT and ECT down 70cm (likely the December 17th surface hoar layer), we decided to opt for lower angle. The December 26th rain crust was about 4cm thick on this elevation, but did not seem to have much of a bridging effect on our tests.</p>
