With Nathan's order, the group moved to the south, following the mountain range. Jinwu kept searching for the path they were looking for.
After thirty minutes, they finally found the path.
According to the book, the path had an average elevation of 1,500 meters (4,921 feet).
In one section, they had to cross a narrow ridge. In another section, they had to move carefully next to the cliff.
This kind of environment was something Nathan hadn't experienced before. In the end, a single mountain was extremely different from a mountain range.
Nevertheless, Nathan didn't plan to waste his time on the bottom.
Once he found the path, he ordered them to climb the mountain. Jinwu continued monitoring the area, trying to avoid as many aliens as possible.
It was true that the aliens could crawl around the mountain, but at the same time, their movement was quite limited. Hence, once they passed them, they wouldn't really come at them anymore, in case they made a huge ruckus.
