At 1970m on a southerly aspect 130cm HS was found. 16cm HN overlies a consolidated 4F to 1F mid-pack, basal composition (lower ~25cm) consists of damp rounding facets. CTs produced RP-PC results with moderate to hard scores at 25 and 45cm below the surface on decomposing layers. Dec 9th crust/facet layer was found at 85cm below the surface and unreactive. No propagation potential was found within any of the layers at the test site.
