Dug three pits at 10,700ft. on SE-E aspects. Results were similar throughout all three pits with compression tests yielding Q2/resistant planar fractures 30-35cm down. Extended column tests did not show propensity for propagation on that layer (ECTN19 @ 30cm down). Propagation saw test shows ability for propagation at depth hoar layer, PST 35/100END @ depth hoar.
