Answer 1

They can, but good luck overwhelming a country via a mountain invasion. First, the host country probably doesn’t care that much about people lurking in their mountains that much, but assuming it was a military operation, it’s TREMENEDOUSLY, difficult to move an army over difficult terrain. How are you going to feed those soldiers, and supply them munitions? If they’re literally mountain climbing with ropes they’ll be cut off from support easily. If they’re going across developed roads then the host country can retaliate in kind.
