Hey welcome back! Just to let you know, the area you chose to adventure in the CG is restricted to first time entries. The zone is set up in a way that you progress from the bottom area and by clearing "trials" you can ascend the mountain. Sorry for the confusion!
Let me know if you wanna continue your adventure; if you don't plan on it, or don't reply within a week, your adventure will be put on hold and resumed when another one finishes.
