Plenty of adults lack spatial awareness

    It's actually crazy to see someone hike who has spent their entire life on flat surfaces. It's like you have to coach them through rough rocky sections.

    Have they never seen staircases? Lol

    Rocky inclines are just less consistent staircases

    That's exactly it, when you never have to think about where your foot needs to go, it's overwhelming when every step requires a decision.

    Like I've ran a trail race with an injury so I was mostly walking or slow jogging. People would be faster than me on roads connecting the mountains, but I would pass them on the trails just by virtue of being good at running on rocks and uneven ground.
