working in that environment requires a special skillset in order to stay upright!
My Palouse farmer in-law says you always have to think about how you are going to out of where you are going. You don't want to get to a place where you can't turn or climb out of and some loads you can't hit the hydraulics and lift them up and go.
Flying around the Blue Mountains is the same thing. Over the years there have been a lot of planes fly up canyons and realize they can't climb as fast as the elevation is climbing and it isn't wide enough to turn in so they eventually crash. There are several WWII planes spread out across the mountains as well as little planes that didn't make it. A couple months ago a student and flight instructor crashed but walked away.
