Pit was dug on east facing 23°-25° slope. Snow height was 160cm, bottom of pit was at 30cm. From what I could ascertain the top layer was pencil firm from 160cm-150cm, fist firm from 150cm-140cm, 4finger firm from 140cm-120cm and finger firm (plus or minus) 120cm and below. ECTN 4 (the top ice layer is what broke)
