Salt Lake 2 Departure

Can we do the SL 2 Departure in the current weather in a Seminole?

The current weather calls for:

Field Elevation Temperature - 18
Temperature at 7800 - 14
Temperature at 8300 - 13

Seminole Climb Performance, Max Gross Weight:

Two engines Operating:
Field Elevation - 900 fpm
7800 feet - 650 fpm
8300 feet - 550 fpm

One engine Operating:
Field Elevation - 0 fpm

For runway 17, we need a minimum climb of 400 feet per NM at 8300 feet, so we can do the SL 2 for runway 17.

For runway 35, we need a minimum climb of 260 feet per NM at 7800 feet, so we can do the SL2 for 35 as well.

However, we can't do the departure on one engine. In fact, with a max climb of 0 fpm, we can't do much of anything except land...
