What can you do on a mountain?
technically speaking... what you can do on mountains ans basins are numerous.one of the most common types are on mountains you could climb them or observe and make a monumental historic monument named mountain. for rock climbing you could get a rope a safety kit in case you fall which you will certainly do i mean after all this is not breathing we are talking about which is pretty simple to do but about killing or hurting yourself. if the rope is not sake after you die from falling you should tell the keepers of the underworld that this rope has to be refunded, causing the death of the person, you. then secure the rope high up. you will need a helicopter for that. and go all the way to the bottom. then, start climbing. do not tell me if you die a horrible death. second on the mountains you could also do this, nams the mountain a historical monument. you should go get authorities for that, also you should go and get another helicopter. then you should name the monument. it is that easy. it is at least better than rock climbing where you could die a horrible death. as long as you do not fall out of the helicopter this time, you are okay. as for basins, i have absolutely no ides what they are. so this time you are off the hook for boring reading, but beware, next time you will not be children
