If you want to explore areas of the world that aren't meant to be
accessible via foot traffic, there is a trick I figured out that lets
you walk along the face of cliffs. It doesn't let you walk vertically
up the cliff face, but it's useful for navigating from one walkable
section to another which will let you go higher.
When you walk up a mountain and you cant go any higher, jump a little
bit to get you a little up the 'unwalkable' part of the
cliff/mountain. Once you are there, you can start walking horizontally
around the mountain, regardless of how steep the slope is.
Just hold down the walk forward key, and face the mountain. Then,
using the mouse, quickly flip your character to face horizontally
along the mountain (the direction you want to move) and then quickly
flip your characters view to face up the mountain again. If you keep
looking too much the direction you want to move, your character will
probably start falling, but after a bit of practice you should be able
to figure out the limits yourself.
I used this trick to get to the dwarven airport in the dwarf starting
province (dun more or whatever). There's no NPC's or monsters there,
but you get a nice view of some dwarven airplanes and such.
