word usage - 'He left his cave aboard a mountain top' - is aboard used correctly?


Someone entered a contest I am sponsoring and a line reads:



He left his cave aboard a mountain top



"Aboard" is the word in question here - Aboard is a required word as the contest has 10 given words that must be placed in a story or poem. The person makes great use of 9 out of 10 words. I do not believe 'aboard' is used correctly in this circumstance. I do not believe a cave can be aboard a mountain. Yes or No? The story written is really well minus this blip. Any feedback would be appreciated.
