Probed a couple of places and mostly 185cm HS. ECT 13, 30cm down, propagated resistant planar failure of the storm snow. The crust was down 45cm but had no failure. After all other taps I did a light shovel pry from the top of the column. 165cm down the column had a resistant non planar failure on facets.
