Dear diary, I met the coolest layer today. He's very crusty, 25cm down, tends to fall apart under pressure but supportive under the right conditions. We met on log cabin at a north facing 22 degree slope at 1120 m. I barely noticed his friend who was with him, buried at 40cm. He progressively crumbled until he completely gave out at 22 taps (yikes!!). There was a pencil hard layer at 60cm too, but he didn't pay any attention to us. We spent the day riding in the trees. Sadly, i don't know if its going to work out because he's pretty clingy and grabby, but we managed to have some fun. Till next time my trusty friend <3
