Well, not really. You'd have to take the hike multiple times for you to have exercised any of your freedoms. That's a key part of the construction I offered. The first time you take that *particular* hike and the first time you step either way, there is no freedom.
(Now, I included some scaffolding for arguing about whether or not you'd have freedom given a previous hike on a *different* ridge, or even the same ridge but 100 years apart.)
