You are climbing up one of Hellbent Mountain's steep faces.  The ground
slopes upwards at about a seventy-degree angle, and the ascent is proving to
be rather difficult.  The loose stones on the ground make your progress even
more difficult, and one false step would be enough to send you tumbling
painfully back down to the bottom of the mountain.  There is a narrow ledge
to the west.
