Why do gamers strive to go to the highest point in whatever game they play?

As a gamer i love a well built world, but when i play anything for example Zelda botw, skyrim, even subnautica, etc, i will stop whatever im doing if i see a large mountain and climb it. I'll just stand there and do nothing, climb down and then go back to what i was doing. And i know im not the one.
Why do I feel an urge to be at the highest point?
