might depend on where you live but i'd think there'd be some guards/park rangers or ppl stopping you unless there's some mountain equivalents of the suicide forest too
mild horror elements is fascinating but yeah i would've turned and sprinted back home the second that granny left lol
If you were hiking up a mountain with essentially zero visibility and a hunchback grandma with no hiking gear appeared and told you to turn back, fuck the weather forecast YOU GO BACK
