Pump Peak

Foggy morning with temperatures around 0C. Sun did not break through until about noon. The first three photos are the views from the opening just below pump peak. The last photo is our quick makeshift pit. See snowpack for details.

165 cm depth 2-4 cm fresh F snow 2cm 1F crust Slab of well consolidated 4F snow down to big rain crust 70cm deep. Compression test produced no results. Pull test caused the 4F snow to slide on two subtle layers that we did not identify on the pit wall.
