Extended column test performed on NE aspect at 5,600'. Test produced a clean shear(ECTP15) and sudden collapse on weak grains below crust layer that lies 55 cm's below surface. Thus proving our "persistent weak layer" remains a concern that will be difficult to trigger but remains high in consequence if one does start an avalanche on this weak interface.
