Comments

Entire NE and N facing steep terrain that dumps into 100 Turn Gully wrapped around to Figure 8.

Of Note, I did not have a visual on the NW and W facing terrain off of Millcent, so I don't have information on this terrain; yet Craig appeared to be riding in this area, so I hope he will contribute to this data entry. Also of note, Stupid Chute at it's NW facing entrance appeared to Natural at the top of the entrance. And, this appeared to go early in the Cycle.
