Check in on Mountaineer Gretchen west of Kharanos.
Description
Spelunking dark caves is adventurer business. My job's just to make reports and send them over to Ironforge.
Trouble is, one of my reports hasn't... well, reported back. I asked a few mountaineers to learn more about the wendigo problem we have out here, but I haven't heard from them.
If you're already going to be out and about, what say you don't check in with Mountaineer Gretchen just west of town. I'm late enough as it is!

The 25 quests filed under Dun Morogh run from level 5 to level 15, and 10 of them are new compared with Classic Era. Experience for level 8 quests in the cache ranges from 70 to 880; this one pays 70.

Kharanos is an area of Dun Morogh, in Eastern Kingdoms.
