You are standing near the base of one of Hellbent Mountain's steep faces.
The ground slopes upwards at about a seventy-degree angle, and it looks like
the climb will take quite a bit of effort.  You notice that the ground is
made from loose stones, and one false step could send you tumbling painfully
back down to the bottom.  You can see a trail running up the mountain to the
north and west, perhaps it would be a good idea to follow it instead.
