I mean I doubt it I think it's just taking a long time because they referenced mount Everest in the earlier chapters and it takes around a 2 months to climb on Everest with a very high chance of dying so that can add up pretty quickly along with the fact that there are monsters on this mountain, also it prob gets more dangerous the higher they go

I mean you could also make a point that he didn't see the chicken get killed in front of his eyes. be more open minded before you make a completely idiotic statement :)
