The foundation work is all well below the frost line, the very top of the 70-80' wall being the only exception - and it was designed for that.
The crumbly stuff you see in this shot from last year is the gravel that is poured on top of the caissons (or wall here) to protect the re-bar that is protuding out many feet, but still does not reach ground level..
