Althea planned out her route before heading too far into the mountain.
After a couple of minutes, she decided to take a look at the western side of the mountain range first.
This was because the highest peak was there and she could see the surroundings better.
The west side of the mountain range was also the most accessible in terms of straight line distance, wherein she could go back and forth within the day.
At the very least, she could get to the apex during daylight, with enough time for excursions to spare.
As she climbed up the mountain, she looked around to remember the plants she had encountered.
Even if she didn't have time to check each and every unfamiliar plant at the moment, she could at least remember where she found them.
However, after all this time, she had also basically confirmed the biodiversity here was really low, because at least half of the local plants here she had already uncovered.
