If he’s illiterate we don’t need to call him dumb

Also allegedly the Rockies, not all mountains… we hope

I doubt he is being labelled "dumb" due to being illiterate.

Doing no research prior to setting out is a great reason to call him dumb.

Though lack of research because you can't read is a bit of a speed bump in the whole "doing research" process

Yes, but people 40 years ago managed. Youtube and a friend that can read. Hell asking random strangers their opinions on what the challenges of skateboarding across the country are.

People 200 years ago managed.
It's extremely dumb to just go out cross country with zero knowledge though.

You’re not wrong!

I will say, I learned stuff like that to be a good idea through a productive education system which also helped me learn to read
