Notes

From the email: "We experienced many small, localized collapses below 7400'. Above 7400', the collapses/ whumphing were much larger (propagating far) and louder. We had two occasions where one of us triggered a whumph from 150+ feet away and the other person (standing still) felt and hear it. Dug two pits: first one on S aspect at 7600' got ECTP14 49 cm down on facets below a melt freeze crust. Second pit (E aspect, 8130 feet) got ECTP13 down 78 cm on 2-3 mm facets" - A. Alloway
