Best Apple Watch face for hiking

What combination of complications makes for the best Apple watch face for hiking?

People who go hiking are mainly interested in three things. Most important is to be able to see, at a quick glance at your wrist, what the weather forecast is for the next few hours.

Next up is location: where are you? What’s your altitude, which way is north? Which way should you be heading?

Last is a quick view of your status: how are you doing? How are you doing physically – what’s your heart rate? And how far have you come? How many steps and miles or kilometers?

I’ve put together these elements in a logical format – most important front-and-centre, and then the others in descending format – to give what I think is an ideal watch face for mountaineers.
