Instability Comment
<p>Spent the day in White Pine for an Avvy 2 Class. We wanted to dig a pit on lower elevation N facing terrain to see if the persistent weak layer was a concern. Compression Test produced CT26BK but the break was not planar. Extended Column ECTX. Below is a photo of the bonding facets in our pit near the ground. </p> <p>We did notice an increase in wind throughout the day.</p>
