Mountain Bike

I have a relatively inexpensive Mountain Bike I bought several years ago
for
pleasure riding.
Question is, could a cheap mountain bike handle real mountains and tough
terrain? The last thing I want to do is be stuck carrying my bike home
when
I'm far from it.


Define cheap.

Dept store cheap, or bike shop cheap?

I have a '99 Specialized HardRock, $350(?), that has served well for many
thousand miles, on and off road.
