Completed a Column and an Extended Column Test. On the first, there was a failure with 25 compressions, at 45cm, non-planer. We could not see any propagation with the Extended Column Test. However, when we put a shovel behind the column and pried the column forward, the entire column fell out in a solid block at 140cm, which was a facetted layer. Temp -2, precip 1cm/hr, 170cm depth.
