I went to a similar situation when I was 16 years old in the communist Romania in 1978
Me and my body went for a 4 days trip to Mt cheia and gotcstucked on the mountain for 4 days with no need it help ,There was no gps, cell phones or any technology we have this days
We managed somehow to climb 1200 feet up and get off the mountain
Since that time I never went to a mountain unless can drive all the way
I like to look at at the mountains mostly from the airplane
