Instability Comment
<p>Much like the 3 pits dug yesterday by the UAC 101 class in Grizzly Gulch, we couldn't get a single ECT result. Our group performed 4 different ECTs in different pits and even when pounded with force outside of the scope of the test (once test parameters were met) we couldn't get propagation. Our group did however perform two successful PSTs (56/100 (End) down 80cm) which helped us see the results we thought likely to see in the ECTs. We did notice that the basal facets are beginning to round.</p>
