It seems that mountain warfare is not a very simply thing, since in modern times it's usually left for special forces such as Alpini and (disbanded) Alpenkorps. And now it's about fantasy.
I have some difficulty to set up tactics for experienced mountain guerrillas that try to look after some beleaguered men-at-arms in the mountain ranges. It should be noted that these mountains are home turf for these guerrillas. No magic is involved, and these two mountain guerrillas are supposed to be untouchable in these mountains.
I think the best way to scout in the mountains is to lower down to ground level and see the whole mountain from distance. Scouting up from wooded plains the naked mountain is "clear" to see, even though looking upwards you can miss lot of things...
The mountains I mean are something like this:

Crystalmist Mountains, to be precise.
So Summa Summarum:
You and your comrade are Sherpas, and no one can touch you in your mountains. You have no fighting skills or magic, but you know the right stuff. How do you survive?
