Mountain.

The man looked up the escarpment. The valley had already tired him. But he refused to take his eyes off the peak. He took a flint in his hand and tried to figure out, if the scatological scent came from the stone. The scent had been smothering him, making him much less willing to breath. He thought of the designs and the frays of the eider-down on his bed. He thought of surviving the pervasive abominable scent while the climb up. He thought about a delicious little morsel of meat. Then he identified his enemy and obliterated it. 
He started climbing.
