the DNF in South Mineral Creek. It’s in good shape right now with 3
pitches of WI4 (one hard one, 5-?, way up high in the photo), 2 of
WI3 and a bunch of easier ice. The ice is a little thin in places
so bring some shorter ice screws. In Eureka, most low flow climbs
(i.e. 1st & 2nd gullies) are in.
