  1. Sampling and measurement was done in 2013. Snow corrected ages are shown for comparison. Erosion corrected ages are used in the discussion
  2. aShielding correction includes the topographic shielding due to surrounding landscape and the dip of the sampled surface. Additionally for the bedrock samples a snow shielding correction factor of 0.8313 was multiplied with the shielding correction (see text)
  3. b AMS measurement errors are at the 1σ level
  4. c Bedrock samples. All others are from boulders
