Test Failure Layer Crystal Types
crust

No result with a full depth ECT. I suspect that the crust distributed the load from the ECT well, so im not confident in this result at all. A 50cm slab slid on the crust (pictured) when pulled from behind the column. Mostly 1f density for the whole snow pale. Top layers were F and 4f. 10cm of 1f basal facets.
