- <p>At between 10,000' and 10,500' we found some localized collapsing. Pits revealed that about 12 inches from the surface under a dust layer at this elevation, failures occured (CTE 2 Q1). -seemed very localized though. Yet 500' higher, much more stubborn results. Found these results below Haystack at 10,300' and on 'the Burn-off' at 10'200'. Nothing propagated and slid.</p>
Watch out for this 'mid elevation' instability. Could be dangerous if above cliffs or terrain traps. Most of the stuff we observed in the past two days of touring near geyser pass (Haystack + pre laurel) above 10,500' was pretty stable (ECTP 24), (ECTN 30), etc...
