>>2672943Depends on the mountain. In some places there are flat top mountains or moors that look the same in all directions. There is no "down", nor rivers to follow as it's just open bog. And if you choose a direction you might eventually see a way down, but it might be impassable (too much undergrowth, boggy, or a ravine).
>>2666927Could be a coincidence but every woman I have ever hiked with has a terrible sense of direction. I always know the direction I have come from, it's like an innate sense. I can feel "that way" is where I came from. And I know that I need to turn a certain number of times to do a circle, and can track where I am and where I've been just in my head - it doesn't take effort, it's automatic.
I have even seen women having no sense of direction when walking around a city. I can say something like "we need to turn left at some point" and women will have no idea why or how I could know, and they literally have no idea where they are or where they came from. I can always sense where I came from and the direction I've travelled in.
