Mountaineer Gretchen's Report
Secure the Mountain is a new three-part quest in Dun Morogh for dwarf and gnome characters around level 8. Senir Whitebeard in Kharanos wants to know what the mountaineers have seen. You walk out to one patrol post, find a missing mountaineer in a wendigo cave and carry the report back. It is short, but many players get stuck looking for Mountaineer Cornelius.

Tips / common problems
- Can’t find Cornelius? He is inside the Grizzled Den, not at the entrance. Follow the cave deeper and clear the wendigos on the way.
- Grab Frosthowl too. Frosthowl from Gretta Ganter in Brewnall Village sends you to the back of the same cave. Do both in one trip.
- No quest on Senir? You need Senir’s Observations first.
