Approaching

Hill

When you approach a hill, you need to decide

it’s one of those hills that’s

just too steep to climb, descend, or cross. Steepness can be hard to judge.

very small hill, for example, there may be a smooth, constant incline

with only

small change in elevation where you can easily see all the way

to the top. On

large hill, the incline may get steeper as you near the top,

but you may not see this because the crest of the hill is hidden by bushes,

grass, or shrubs.

the hill that can block your path (boulders,

trees, logs or ruts)?

and exposed rocks because they are more susceptible to the effects
