Dug a quick pit on the W face of East Peak in a lee feature at 12:30, 2200m, 30-35° angle, air temp -5°C, HS 52cm. Test results: CTV 32 down on MFcr, DTE 5 40 down on facets, ECTP 3 32 down on MFcr Decided to ride a different aspect and lower angle slopes. Crust was suprisingly reactive in our tests
