Zoa ridge

<p>Extended column. Slope roughly 25-30 degrees Failure 30cm down on 7 wrist taps non planer Failure 50 cm down after 7 elbow taps non planer. No further results after. Ice crust down 50 cm had ice fingers underneath it poking into sugary snow. Shovel tugging on the column pulled the top 50cm off and the column could be picked up without the crust breaking. Standing above snow pits and jumping would pop the top 50cms and made filling the snow pits a breeze. </p>
