Am I in the wrong place/wrong time?

Bit of a youngster here (read as don't know a whole bunch). And need a little clarification. I've worked my first toon up to 13.5- R/El. Lots of fun. Anyhoo- I worked my way down to Beacon's Perch. Along the way fought lvl 8 monsters- little tuff, but no big deal. Ok, now, I leave out the south end to Lornar's pass and what do I see? Level 22-24 monsters and proceed to team wipe. Ouch.
So the question is...should I not be here? Why is there such a discrepency from one zone to the next?

You want to head west from Beacon's Perch, not south.

Ah- I see. It's a soft barrier? That's cool. I don't mind paying my dues, just was curious why I ran into that big ugly fella. I kind of like that soft barrier. If one 'could' run thru - bully for them, otherwise, pack yer bags son.

Thanks,
