Dug a pit at 8100 feet on Andesite Peak North Aspect. 110 cm depth, Fist hard---4 finger--1 finger with a few crusts. Notably 70 cm down we encountered very intact buried SH. The bottom 10 cm were 3-6mm DH. We had many results on the SH and the DH. Many CT-E and CT-M SC results. On the SH layer we had PST 55/100 and the DH PST 60/100.
