Nothing beats actually knowing the country.

The topo map showed a nice gentle spur for us to escape on.
The reality was a continuous 40 m high vertical sandstone wall right around the spur. It was not altogether unexpected.

Nothing beats knowing when to turn around.
Except that we couldn’t go back: too far and not enough water.
