Quick Observation

Dug a pit on the shoulder of Cheops on N aspect at about 1850m Found the Jan 29th SH at 70cm. Compression tests produced resistant planar failures at ~20cm CTM13-16. We skied down the north aspect from TL, avoided unsupported features and didnt trigger any slides. Snow got heavier as we descended.

Snowpack

Serveral layers in the upper snow pack. Jan 29th SH layer down 70cm
