Climbing your mountain, and reaching your target is just half the deal. The descent must be approached with equal caution, especially when you're on unfamiliar territory. Bear in mind that many accidents happen whilst descending and the terrain, or a sudden change in weather, may demand compass skills and a good large scale map. GPS systems cannot always be relied upon and are not generally accurate enough for the purposes of mountaineering.
