>>2084737>>2084741>this squiggle across a satellite map comprises the entirety of your hiking planIt's obvious that i'm studying terrain meter by meter in detail and organizing gear and tools.
>Plant growth can be thick in some areas. Not really, Siberia is quite barren and plant cover is never a jungle.
Pic related is low country near the start of the trail.
>fallen trees and logs strewn all over the ground,Not a death sentence i think
>access to other parts of the mountains can be blocked by impassable cliffs or steep scree fields.Not really, because the planned route would be as flat as possible and i'm smart enough to not draw my path on a cliff
> That means you'll be crossing the creek at some point, streams can swell and become impassable in the spring and early summer.It's another reason why i'm thinking late summer (august/september)
>crossing a stream will get you wet,Just sweating makes you wet, i already know how to handle it
> Not having a topographic map (sounds like you do not) I got an even better thing, google earth on a Garmin GPS
>completely in the dark as to the best route up the mountain or down the other sideThe route would be ALREADY planned carefully and in advance by months and brought with me on at least 3 devices (Garmin GPS, outdoor watch and phone)
>Or maybe you'll descend a slope that seems to have a gentle enough slope to begin with, but then it gets steeper and turns into basically a cliff. I got myself in that kind of situation on the limestone southern Italian alps, i just walked back and took another route.
>Extreme weather is another serious concern for a soloNot really, meteoblue provides excellend meteo forecasts and statistics
>finding a campsite to avoid lightning or survive high windsThis is actually a good hint, that could be easily planned in advance
>fucking bear spray!It doesn't happen, but if it happens...
