Basal facets.
History of wind: nice view of scour, slip surface and pillow in one shot on South Monitor.
ECT result...kinda fun to watch!
Snowpack
Not much pack to talk about, really! Thin unconsolidated snow with facets and graupel on most aspects, wind skins, crusts and pillows in places. 2 mm facets at the base of a 50cm snowpack still a concern on PC ridge line, producing an ECTP13 and ECTP15, in addition to a less intriguing ECTN21. Did find stubborn wind slabs and crusts along ridge lines: enthusiastic jumping on SW pillow produced 3 foot cracks down 12 cm at the deepest, but the piece didn’t move. Mild “sandboxing” also noted, especially on North half of compass.
