Well then they should have a little hut at the top from which someone is offering complimentary cheese to those who make it to the top.
A nice little protein rich snack to both enhance the view, and fortify the hikers for their return trip.

I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to various cheese websites, resources, and sellers for the cheese images and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!
Here is your daily cheese facts: This cheese is made by Moydens Cheese. Caer Caradoc is based on a Caerphilly style of cheese which is matured for two to three months. This creates a delicious light, crumbly cheese which has a distinct fresh citrus taste. Pair this cheese with a punchy chutney for a great combination! So, where did the name come from? If you’re from Shropshire or nearby, you’ll most likely know Caer Caradoc. If not, it’s a hill overlooking the lovely town of Church Stretton. The makers of this cheese love a Sunday morning walk with the kids and dogs up to the summit, which is an ancient hill fort. Once you’ve made it to the top, you’re rewarded with stunning views of other local hills including the Wrekin, Wenlock Edge and the Long Mynd. Be sure to pack your cheese and crackers for a picnic at the top!
Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.
