Quite an incredible place! I only just finished projecting Jan's panorama from 2 sols ago and now there's another one. OK, here is sol 2659. Map update to follow shortly.

OK, here is the sol 2661 panorama, kindly supplied by Jan, in a circular format. Comparison with the last one shows how we moved east and south towards the edge of the Pediment's upper layer. It looks to me as if there is no actual view of the contact between the cap rock and the brighter slope rocks, so I expect we will descend again soon and start circumnavigating the Pediment, perhaps looking out for a spot where a contact is accessible.

The geometry of this one was a bit tricky!

In this anaglyph from sol 2661, what in 2D images looks like an unbroken bulwark at the edge of the Pediment, appears rather surprisingly easy to ascend. From this point a good part of the top surface was in view already. There's a gently sloping ramp to the right of and beyond the nearby heap of stones that could offer a perfect way up for the rover (if you ask me).

Amazing how many perched / stacked rocks there are.

Has Curi ever intentionally knocked over a pillar or yardang to expose a fresh rock surface?

Sol 2664, Jan's panorama in circular form. We moved just a bit down the slope to a more stable location for drilling.

Drill hole at Hutton features in this F-HazCam from sol 2668.
Judging from the tailings it could be the 24th successful sample hole in Mars!
