Lost Creek drains a healthy chunk of the West Boulder Plateau and in the non-winter months would be an on rope scuba adventure. The water would still be in the mid thirties and just a lot more of it. There is still a healthy amount of water flowing in right now and it will be full wetsuit past where we turned around. Here is the same pit in May of last year.

Mid-30's
That is just a "tad"
cooler than the mid-50's I used to survey while I lived in Indiana.
