Quick report
First and most important, the persistent layer, we've been seeing all season, is still present in the 40-70 cm range. In our observation pit, we found it at 55cm. Caution should be exercised on all slopes greater than 30 Degrees as persistent slabs are very unpredictable and very dangerous. During our observation, we performed a Propagation Saw Test (PST) and an Extended Column Test (ECT), both revealing propagation at the persistent layer. Test results were PST 55/120@55cm, meaning the test column fractured clean throughout the whole column once our saw cut roughly halfway through, and we saw an ECTP23@55cm, meaning the column propagated and failed on 23 taps at 55cm from the ground.
